My 14 year old daughter Ashley has severe oral motor apraxia, and I find massaging her cheeks, mouth area before eating, helps sometimes. But she has good days and bad days, somedays unable to eat hardly anything, I never thought about until I had her about my tongue only moving in and out and not side to side, and I feel so bad because some days I just don't understand anything she says. She receives speech at school but I feel she needs more. As she has gotten older it has become more difficult for her to eat. She chokes and coughs, if any one has ideas for me, please respond. thank you.
