Oral Motor Delay Treatment in Delhi

What is Oral Motor Delay?

When a child has oral motor delay, the muscles in their mouth may not be strong or smooth enough for chewing or talking. Some kids also react too strongly, or not enough, to how food feels, tastes, or how hot or cold it is.

Common Signs of Oral Motor Delay

• Difficulty chewing solid foods
• Food often falling out of the mouth
• Gagging, choking, or coughing during meals
• Long mealtime duration
• Delayed speech development or unclear pronunciation
• Strong refusal of certain food textures

Causes of Oral Motor Delays

• Premature birth
• Developmental conditions such as autism or genetic syndromes
• Neurological conditions
• Prolonged medical treatments like tube feeding
• Missed exposure to feeding skills at the right age
