Number one toy?! ⬇️
Mirrors 🤣 Alright I know what you’re all thinking it’s not a toy, but it should be!
Why mirrors are important when it comes to speech and myofunctional therapy. Kids AND adults need to be able to see what their own tongue, lips, teeth, jaw, throat, and the ENTIRE face are doing in order to be successful!!! Awareness is EVERYTHING!
Do you know what your jaw does when the teeth close, do you wrinkle your brow when your tongue goes up, does your ear twitch when you move your tongue from side-to-side? THE MIRROR WILL TELL YOU 😳
It’s instant feedback without needing anyone to “correct” you first. That makes practice more fun, more independent, and way more effective.
So yes, mirrors may not look like a toy… but in speech and myo, they’re a GAME-CHANGER! 💪
