This activity is part of Oral-Motor Therapy, where the therapist gently massages the cheeks to improve muscle strength and movement. It helps children who have trouble chewing, blowing, or making clear speech sounds. The massage increases awareness of the mouth, supports better lip and cheek control, and prepares the muscles needed for speaking and eating. It is useful for kids with delayed speech, oral-motor weakness, or feeding difficulties.
