đź‘… Strengthen oral motor muscles to support tongue lateralization, cheek contraction, and the ability to clear from from the mouth and teeth
🥄 Offer feeding support for your child to feel confident in eating
đź§© Address sensory sensitivities that may be heightened due to a tongue tie
👶🏻 Aid in additional developmental skills that may be impacted by tightness caused from a tongue, lip, or cheek tie
