THE KTS DIFFERENCE
Jessica is specialized in the following areas.
TALK TOOLS CERTIFICATION TRACK, TETHERED ORAL TISSUES (TOTS)
TalkTools® was created to provide the best Oral-Placement Therapy (OPT) techniques, training, and tools to clients, therapists and parents. Our therapy techniques add a tactile component to feeding and speech therapy, enabling clients to “feel” the movements necessary for the development of speech clarity.
TOTs includes lingual restriction -- also known as ankyloglossia -- but can also be a restriction of the frena of the lips and cheeks, by a band of tissue. Lip and tongue ties can affect the way an individual eats, speaks and swallows.
