Welcome to The Speech Clinic, a leading clinic in Dubai specializing in the management of drooling. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to providing effective strategies and interventions to address excessive drooling in individuals of all ages. With our expertise and personalized approach, we aim to improve comfort and overall quality of life.

Understanding Drooling Management

Excessive drooling, or hypersalivation, can impact an individual's daily life and cause discomfort, social challenges, and potential health issues. Drooling management involves identifying the underlying causes due to any medical conditions or muscle weakness and implementing strategies to reduce drooling and its associated difficulties.

Our Approach

At The Speech Clinic, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to drooling management. Our team of experienced professionals, including speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists, collaborate closely to develop a tailored plan based on the individual's specific needs and goals to reduce drooling and its associated challenges thereby improving the individual’s confidence.

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin by conducting a detailed assessment to understand the causes and severity of the drooling. Our assessments involve evaluating the oral motor skills, swallowing function, sensory processing, and any underlying medical conditions contributing to the drooling.

Individualized Intervention Plans

Based on the assessment results, our team develops personalized intervention plans that address the individual's unique needs and goals. These plans may include a combination of strategies from various disciplines, including oral motor exercises, sensory integration techniques, positioning strategies, and behavioral modifications.

Oral Motor Exercises

Our speech-language pathologists may recommend specific oral motor exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing and improve the oral muscle control. These exercises aim to enhance lip closure, tongue movements, jaw strength, strength and movement of the oral musculature and overall oral motor coordination, thereby reducing drooling.

Sensory Integration Techniques

For individuals with sensory processing challenges contributing to drooling, our occupational therapists employ sensory integration techniques. These techniques help regulate sensory input and improve oral sensory awareness, reducing the likelihood of excessive drooling.

Positioning Strategies

Proper positioning during eating, drinking, and rest can significantly impact drooling. Our team provides guidance on optimal positioning techniques to promote effective swallowing, improve postural control, and minimize drooling.

Behavioral Modifications

In some cases, behavioral modifications can help manage drooling. Our professionals work closely with individuals and their families to develop strategies that promote awareness of the drooling behavior and encourage alternative behaviors, such as swallowing or using a tissue.

Family Involvement and Support

We recognize the importance of involving families and caregivers in the drooling management process. Our team provides education, training, and ongoing support to empower families to implement strategies and support their loved ones effectively.
