Abstract
An historical note is given relative to the credit which should be accorded generally to Professor J. H. Muyskens for calling the attention of the professional world to the importance of chewing, sucking and swallowing in the speech disorders. The home program advised for parents by the Institute of Logopedics at Wichita, Kansas, is reproduced together with the general home instructions given parents relative to the development of sucking and gum chewing at home in their children. Drooling is nearly always corrected by this program and additional similar procedures in the clinic. Clinical workers are advised not to administer this program without careful checking since many of these cases will require attendance at the clinic before regular integration of the chewing, sucking and swallowing reflexes can be expected.
