Brief Summary
: CP is a neurodevelopmental condition. A set of irreversible impairments of movement and posture development, resulting in activity limitation. Acquired CP can be the outcome of a variety of issues that arise after the first 28 days of a baby's existence. A CP diagnosis can now be made as early as 16 weeks. speech-language pathologists (SLPs) began collaborating with OTs and PTs for Infants and toddlers who also struggle with speech impediments, feeding and swallowing disorder. Oral motor exercises (OMEs), also known as "mouth exercises," "non-speech oral motor training," and "oral motor treatment" were designed for their treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of oral motor exercises in children with cerebral palsy having feeding and swallowing difficulties.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)

upto 16 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Drooling severity and frequency scale
upto 24 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Oral Motor Therapy
EXPERIMENTALThese are exercises designed to increase the range of movement in tongue, lips, and jaw, which helped in speech and/or swallow functioning. It is important to move the designated area as far as can in each direction until feel the muscles stretch. Stop if feel any pain, and mention it to speech therapist or doctor. Practice these exercises, once through, 10 times a day.
Traditional Therapy
OTHERweeks traditional Speech Therapy was provided. Pre-language skills (vocalizations) manual sign languages, gestures, picture communication boards, voice output communication devices were used. Playing and talking, using pictures, books, objects, or ongoing events to help language development. Use of repetition exercises to build speech and language skills.
Interventions
In Traditional therapy we will give cognitive and articulation therapy to the patients.

- Masking Details
- All patients of study were screened for following information before randomization such as age, gender, location duration of disease and medical history. Each participant of current study was undergoing through questionnaire regarding demographic information. For oral motor therapy assessment and the Functional Feeding Assessment (FFA) subscale of the multidisciplinary Feeding Profile (MFP) were used. A blinded pedagogue who was not involve in the training sessions performed the Bayley scales of infant development (BSID-II) before and after the training.
