The Neuroscience Behind Speech Movements: Practical Applications with Jayanti Ray

The Speech Link with Char Boshart

Guest: Jayanti Ray, PhD, CCC-SLP - This episode explores articulation therapy, motor control, proprioceptive feedback, and neuroscience. Details are provided for the neural connections to acquire and maintain oral motor behaviors and the oral resting posture. Efficient neural programming of the tongue, jaw, lips, and velum enables optimal speed and precision of movement for speaking. What happens, and what do we do when it doesn’t?
