The Horn#0 sounds with very gentle exhaled air streams. This tool helps very young children and clients with minimal airflow progress to the Original Horn Kit. It requires less lip closure and air flow than Horn#1 to make a sound. Can also be used as a 'toy' to introduce the idea of using horns in speech and language therapy.

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.

The Drooling Remediation Program has a step-by-step approach that does not focus on behaviour but rather addresses the cause of drooling with a new set of eyes, Oral Placement Therapy. 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.

Designed for parents of special needs children with speech or feeding difficulties, this kit includes the tools and information you need to start using OPT (Oral Placement Therapy) in your own home. If you have heard the success stories resulting from OPT techniques, but are unsure how to begin, this introductory kit is exactly what you have been looking for.
