The Connection Between Hand Strength, Precision, and Speech Articulation | Ep 6

This week we discuss the fascinating connection between hand movements and speech articulation. Emerging research shows that utilizing hand exercises can significantly enhance speech production.

I recently co-treated with a speech therapist and observed promising results when integrating hand activities.

During the discussion, I emphasize the importance of collaboration between occupational and speech therapists, especially incorporating hand strength and fine motor activities to support speech development.

My latest book, focused on Palmar Grasp, Hands Pulling, and Babkin reflexes is available now!
