Re: off topic--reverse swallow

[Guest guest]

My daughter has always had a strong gag reflect and a protruding tongue. This

is particulalyr true if she eats meals too quickly but it has improved over

time. No diagnosed food allergies tho I suspect...Now the speech therapists

suggest that she has a " reverse swallow " which impacts her speech (something

of a lisp and signficant delays but at 11 she is speaking and reading at

around a 3rd grade level) and possibly her eating. Anyone had this " reverse

swallow " diagnosis and any thoughts? We are looking into some oral motor

exercises which we had done in the past but stopped, and have an orthodontist

following her, but she cannot tolerate a night brace. Thanks for any help.
