Children with speech disorders need to receive effective services to improve their speech intelligibility. A variety of treatments are available, and one of the most commonly used techniques is oral-motor training, which includes nonspeech oral exercises.
This paper conducted a review of the literature on using nonspeech oral exercises to treat children with developmental speech sound disorders.
Despite the popularity of this treatment, the nonspeech oral techniques lack supporting evidence in existing literature. Also, the justification of the proposed rationales for this treatment is being questioned. Many other speech-based approaches that are supported by research are available for speech-language pathologists. Some have suggested that any oral training and activity should be performed in the context of speech. The appropriate role of nonspeech oral exercises is that they should be ultimately practiced within the context of speech.
Generally, oral training that does not involve speech production should be considered carefully with respect to a client's speech needs. Thus, further research is needed to examine the clinical value of using nonspeech oral exercises to treat speech sound disorders in children.
有言语障碍的儿童需要接受有效的服务以提高其言语清晰度。有多种治疗方法可供选择，其中最常用的技术之一是口部运动训练，包括非言语性口部练习。
本文对使用非言语性口部练习治疗发育性语音障碍儿童的文献进行了综述。
尽管这种治疗方法很受欢迎，但非言语性口部技术在现有文献中缺乏支持证据。此外，这种治疗方法所提出的理论依据也受到质疑。言语语言病理学家还有许多其他有研究支持的基于言语的方法可供选择。一些人建议，任何口部训练和活动都应在言语情境中进行。非言语性口部练习的适当作用是，它们最终应在言语情境中进行练习。
一般来说，对于客户的言语需求，应谨慎考虑不涉及言语产生的口部训练。因此，需要进一步研究以检验使用非言语性口部练习治疗儿童语音障碍的临床价值。
