Nose Clip

Nose Clips are excellent for those situations where the client you are working with cannot differentiate between oral and nasal airflow to successfully say a word that combines oral and nasal speech sounds. It affects many clients with motor planning disorders, particularly: velo-pharyngeal insufficiency, repaired cleft-hypernasality, post-sphynctoplasty-hypernasality, Apraxia and Dyspraxia. The nose clips can be used to teach the motor plan for controlled oral airflow by adding a tactile cue to assist in the process. This activity can be used with the Pre-Hierarchy Horn to teach horn blowing or bubble blowing when airflow is directed out of the nose, rather than the mouth, during these activities.

-Teaches controlled oral airflow
-Improves velo-pharyngeal mobility
