Drooling Management Programme

The Drooling Management Programme takes a systematic and structured approach to address excessive drooling by focusing on its underlying causes rather than simply treating it as a behavioral issue. This program applies Oral Placement Therapy (OPT), a specialized technique that enhances muscle strength, coordination, and sensory awareness to improve saliva control. Instead of relying on traditional methods, OPT offers a fresh perspective, targeting key areas that contribute to drooling, including body posture, oral sensory awareness, lip closure, and saliva retraction.

Through engaging and motivational activities, this program is designed to be effective for both children and adults. The structured exercises not only strengthen the muscles needed for better oral control but also encourage self-regulation of saliva production. These fun and interactive techniques are designed for implementation by therapists in clinical settings, providing a comprehensive and structured approach to effectively managing drooling.
