This resource page contains articles, poster presentations, peer-reviewed journals, blogs, and podcasts that serve as a terrific reference for anyone wanting to learn more about Oral Placement Therapy, myofunctional therapy, feeding, and related fields. Naysayers debate the evidence for oral motor therapies — this page demonstrates that the evidence base is robust and growing.

EBP is a combination of patient values, clinical research, and clinical data — not just Level 1-2 studies. Between the Oral Motor Institute, the International Association of Orofacial Myology, and the TalkTools® publications pages, the evidence for oral motor and myofunctional therapy is clear and well-documented.

"EBP means more than level-one research or large-sample, double-blind case studies. EBP evolves with new evidence and truly listening to our colleagues and their observations." — RMW
