Duration is a necessary component of speech, as it allows us to continue to vocalise or verbalise on a single exhalation. Duration is a goal we must address when working on improving oral airflow for abdominal grading in each of the air-for-phonation activities described in our book, Oral Placement Therapy for Speech Clarity and Feeding. The Duration Tubes activity can provide the prerequisite skills for the Horn Hierarch and Bubble Hierarchy. As you work through the hierarchies, your client will be required to use an increasing duration of airflow.

Nose Clips are excellent for those situations where the client you are working with cannot differentiate between oral and nasal airflow to successfully say a word that combines oral and nasal speech sounds. It affects many clients with motor planning disorders, particularly: velo-pharyngeal insufficiency, repaired cleft-hypernasality, post-sphynctoplasty-hypernasality, Apraxia and Dyspraxia. The nose clips can be used to teach the motor plan for controlled oral airflow by adding a tactile cue to assist in the process. This activity can be used with the Pre-Hierarchy Horn to teach horn blowing or bubble blowing when airflow is directed out of the nose, rather than the mouth, during these activities.

Possible areas of saliva control deficit include: body posture, sensory awareness, lip closure and saliva retraction. The fun, motivational OPT activities are suitable for both children and adults, and can be implemented by therapists as well as families.
