Description
The original Oral Motor/Oral Mech Exam — with over 1,700 verified reviews!
When you need an oral motor assessment that kids actually want to participate in — one that SLPs keep coming back to — this is it.
Developed by an SLP with 19+ years of experience working with children with speech sound disorders, this assessment was built for:
- Preschoolers and children who are reluctant to open their mouth
- Students who shut down with long instructions and need visual supports
- SLPs who aren’t confident in what to look for, what they should be recording or what to say during an oral motor exam
I always found it challenging to complete oral motor assessments with my little ones. This made my job SO much easier! The kids love making their “silly faces” and I get a lot more participation than without it!
WHAT MAKES THIS SO COMPREHENSIVE:
➊ — 30 large cards with easy-to-understand pictures and instructions
➋ — 7-page comprehensive record form (so you don’t miss anything)
❸ — Digital copy of the exam to use on a tablet or computer
❹ — Instructions, charts, and scripts for performing DDK rates
❺ — Additional information on when and who to consider referring to
These colorful and engaging cards contain relatable and funny instructions such as ‘Lift your tongue like an elephant lifts its trunk’, to increase participation. One SLP said, “It’s more like a game than an assessment.”
The record form gives you an extensive list of observations to record, and includes detailed pictures of the oral cavity and teeth malocclusions. This will help any SLP who isn’t sure what they’re supposed to be looking for! You will also feel fully prepared to administer diadochokinesis (DDK) rates with norm-referenced charts and instructions on what to say. We don’t want you to miss anything!
And if you need help pulling it altogether, you will have more clear direction on why you might refer to other professionals (e.g., an ENT, Pediatric Dentist, Myofunctional therapist and Pediatric Neurologist) with other helpful list.
CONTENTS:
✅ — x30 oral motor assessment cards addressing: the mandible (jaw), lips, tongue, dentition (teeth), oral cavity (including hard and soft palate), double oral motor movements, diadochokinesis (DDK) rates
✅ — Seven-page record form including: instructions on what to say, observations to record, things to look for (that you might miss)
✅ — DDK rate instructions and norm-referenced charts for ages 2-13 years
✅ — A 30-slide digital copy of the assessment cards to display on a tablet
✅ — A helpful decision-making chart on referrals to consider based on your oral motor examination
What SLP’s like you are saying:
“These cards make oral motor exams with younger students go smoothly. They love the visuals and seem much more comfortable following the instructions!”
“This was a great resource for performing an Oral Motor Exam! My students were able to understand exactly what to do from the kid friendly pictures!”
“I use these cards in every evaluation. They make an oral mech exam fun! It’s more like a game than an assessment.”

This resource makes doing oral mech exams so easy. Kids don’t even realize they’re being “tested” and they love the pictures. A must-have for any SLP working with young kids.

Makes oral mech fun!
I used to dread doing oral mech exams during evaluations, but this resource makes it so much more engaging. As a therapist, I appreciate how it makes my writeups so much easier by providing a clear framework and verbiage to use in my reports.

Amazing Update!
I love these Oral Motor Assessment Cards! I work in a pediatric clinic as well as with younger elementary school students, and these are perfect.
Review from Teachers Pay Teachers
Dorothy McMahon (verified owner) –
I predominantly use this resource for an OMA at a feeding assessment, so don’t use the coordinated movement or DDK cards as much- having said that, the whole set is so useful, especially when paired with the marking sheet that outlines what to look for WNL or otherwise. Terrific resource, much like everything else Rebecca produces!
Jade M. –
