Suggestion for drooling remediation & question regarding sour spray

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am an S/LP who is new to the group & is very interested in

connecting online with parents of children who have apraxia since I

would love to hear about what therapies have worked for your children

etc. Yesterday I noticed the post about sour spray for drooling &

would love to find out more about that since I have many children on my

caseload with low muscle tone & drooling problems. Has the use of sour

spray helped at all? I would really like to hear more about it b/c I

would be happy to incorporate it into my sessions & suggest that the

parents do it as well if it will be helpful.

Also, I would recommend going on Talktools.com to purchase Sara

Rosenfeld-'s drooling remediation program which involves using a

horn hierarchy, a straw hierarchy, keeping a tongue depressor of

varying weights between the lips, (a kind of weight-lift for the lips)

etc. You may want to consult with an SLP who is familiar with the

program.

Good luck,
