Abstract
This compilation of research explores the multifaceted applications and efficacy of oral motor therapy. Studies investigate its impact on speech production and swallowing in diverse populations, including adults with neurological disorders, children with speech sound disorders, preterm infants, and individuals with ALS and COPD. Various therapeutic modalities are examined, from traditional exercises to sensory-based techniques, technology-assisted interventions, and manual therapy. The importance of motor learning principles and individualized treatment plans is consistently emphasized, with findings indicating significant improvements in functional communication, swallowing safety, and quality of life
