My seven year old can't spit out toothpaste, blow bubbles, blow out birthday candles, lick a lolly pop or ice cream, can't kiss and etc. When using a regular cup because he can't put head back and oral apraxia liguid comes out the side of his mouth. Do you have an idea to help my child. What therapy or any thing that can be done to help my child Oral Apraxia? I can't find help for his oral Apraxia. There is such a controverisal over oral motor excerise. I had a therapist that did it. I thought that was good for him. School therapist is against it. My child isn't getting any help for oral apaxia. So my child will be a grown up some day still not be able to do these things just because no one is helping with the oral apraxia.
