As someone who has witnessed my daughter working so hard to move from being nonverbal for over four years to speaking some words and sentences, I know how much effort goes into every sound. Some days her mouth feels tired. The muscles, the coordination, all of it, especially after so long of communicating without words or exerting less oral motor effort. We’ve been using this for two years with our speech practice. Here is what these tools do and why they help: * Textured Barrel Tip: Provides sensory feedback across the gums, cheeks, tongue, and lips. This type of oral stimulation increases awareness of oral structures, which supports better placement of the tongue and lips. It also encourages chewing movements and jaw stability. These are foundational for speech development, especially for children building strength and coordination. * Soft Edge Tip: Useful for precise or fine motor points, such as working behind the teeth or practicing specific sounds like /L/. For children with apraxia or limited practice, pinpointing small areas helps with movement control and building muscle memory Research on childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) shows that therapy is most effective when movement during actual speech is practiced often, with repetition, feedback, and intensity. Tools that provide tactile or sensory feedback can support this work by increasing sensitivity, awareness, and reducing fatigue. However, non-speech oral motor exercises alone, without actual speech practice, have not been shown to significantly change speech sound production. The greatest progress comes from practicing speech itself, with tools like these used as supports. For my daughter, this means she gets more consistent practice even on days when she has less energy. These tools are helping her mouth feel stronger, less exhausted, and more coordinated. They allow us to work on specific sounds in a precise and supportive way. This is not a quick fix, but it does provide her with the background support she needs; strength, coordination, and endurance. These changes make speaking more sustainable, less tiring, and more positive for her. #asd #speechtherapy #autism #nonverbal #communication

Mikko has very coarse(THICK) long Curly hair, that I feel needs something that isn’t so light weight and thin. The other bruch we have been using for about a year now and it absolutely works so well for “US” I think the Unbrush is a good brush for someone that may have thinner hair, or not so curly, or just doesn’t have a sensitive scalp. I was really hoping it would help us because all of the sensory issues Mikko has but glad we tried it! If you feel kike it could work on your hair, definitely buy it and try it for yourself 💛 #unbrush #asd #autism #sensoryissues #autismawareness #sensoryprocessingdisorder #unbrushreview
