Overview
Communication disorders are among the most common disabilities in the United States. Most communication disorders have their onset in early childhood and include disorders of sound production, language acquisition, fluency and voice. According to current estimates, the occurrence of communication disorders in young children is as high as 19%. Of the more than six million children diagnosed with disabilities, 21.6% receive services for speech or language disorders.
Many children have communication problems secondary to other conditions, but often the cause of the disorder is unknown. Early detection and intervention are essential to a child's overall future and success. It is therefore important to develop effective tools to teach communication skills in therapy and in the classroom, and to make practice time enjoyable for children and their families.
This CD was developed to allow the child to practice communication skills in a fun and effective way through music.
Music in My Mouth is a CD of 26 original songs, accompanied by a manual, which includes movement suggestions, associated activities and books, and ideas for partnering with parents. Songs address aspects of sound production, language development, fluency, social skills, food aversion and the important behaviors of self-control and mastery motivation. Music in My Mouth is an essential tool for bringing out the joy in communication skills development.
This product is designed to be used by speech-language pathologists, early childhood educators and families to teach and practice a variety of skills related to the development of communication skills. These songs can be used in individual or group speech-language therapy, in the classroom or childcare setting, at home or in the car. The manual provides speech-language pathologists, educators and families with tips on integrating the songs with other activities and children's literature. These songs give children the concepts, behaviors and self-talk that support the development of speech, language and social interaction skills.
Music In My Mouth uses songs and music to:
- Help kids develop communication skills
- Reduce food aversion for children with feeding disorders
- Improve specific communication skills
- Build essential social skills
- Aid in individual and group therapy
- Make practice fun
Music in My Mouth is the result of a collaborative effort among the Division of Speech Pathology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Children, Inc. and Kisor Music. Music in My Mouth was developed as part of the Division of Speech Pathology's mission and commitment to providing the highest quality services to patients and their families.
