Abstract
A training program to reduce drooling volume in groups of cerebral palsied children was described. The program, which lasted 1 yr, required the children to wear chin cups and to attend special anti-drooling classes. The overall reduction in volume of drooling was 73%.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
