“…A five-step process for acquiring evidence (Boswell, 2005;Kully & Langevin, 2005;Lou, 2002;Sackett, Straus, et al 2000) was used in this survey of evidence levels in NSOMT studies (Pannbacker & Lass, 2003). Table 2 outlines the steps in acquiring evidence and the outcome of each step.…”

Despite their use for many years and their popularity among some SLPs for the treatment of a wide variety of speech problems in children and adults, NSOMTs are controversial because sufficient evidence does not exist to support their effectiveness in improving speech. Moreover, limited evidence exists for the use of NSOMTs to facilitate nonspeech activities. Therefore, the available evidence does not support the continued use of NSOMTs as a standard treatment and they should be excluded from use as a mainstream treatment until there are further data. SLPs should consider the principles of EBP in making decisions about NSOMTs.

“…A pesar de la falta de evidencia sobre la efectividad de los EMONV para el tratamiento de TSH en preescolares, existe un gran número fonoaudiólogos y fonoaudiólogas (FA) que los utilizan, particularmente para la intervención en TSH articulatorios (Hodge et al, 2005;Joffe y Pring, 2008;Kamal, 2021;Lee y Moore, 2015;Lof y Watson, 2008;Ruscello, 2008;Ygual-Fernández y Cervera-Mérida, 2016). Sin embargo, es importante que quienes se dedican a la rehabilitación fonoaudiológica basen sus decisiones clínicas en evidencia científica actualizada (Boswell, 2005;Lass y Pannbacker, 2008;Lee y Gibbon, 2015;McCauley et al, 2009), llevando a cabo intervenciones del habla cuya efectividad haya sido comprobada por la literatura, especialmente cuando el objetivo de intervención es alcanzar un habla funcional (Alhaidary, 2021;Forrest y Iuzzini, 2008;Lass y Pannbacker, 2008;G. Lof, 2008;McCauley et al, 2009;Powell, 2008;Ygual-Fernández y Cervera-Mérida, 2016).…”

Previous studies, conducted in different countries (e.g. Australia, Canada, India, Republic of Ireland, USA, UK), have shown that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use nonspeech oral motor exercises (NSOMEs) to treat speech sound disorders (SSDs), bringing attention to the substantial debate regarding the clinical effectiveness of NSOMEs. The aim of the present study was to investigate and characterize the use of NSOMEs by Portuguese SLPs in the intervention of SSDs, and to analyze the evidence that supports it. To do so, SLPs who provide therapy to children with SSDs were invited to complete an online questionnaire, based on a previous survey conducted in India by Thomas and Kaipa (2015). A total of 184 participants responded to the survey; 93.5% reported knowing about NSOMEs, 78.5% used NSOMEs in their intervention for SSDs, and 80.2% considered them effective in treating SSDs (89% indicated that their knowledge about NSOMEs was acquired through graduate and post-graduate courses; 98.5% reported that they used NSOMEs to improve the motor function of the articulators). This study offers an overview of Portuguese speech-language pathologists’ reported use of NSOMEs as part of the intervention of speech sound disorders in children. Many of the participants in this study reported that they did use NSOMEs in SSD treatments, regardless of the lack of evidence to support their use in this context. Furthermore, the results show that the percentage of SLPs in Portugal using NSOMEs is similar to those found in the USA, UK, Canada, and India, but different from those in Australia and Ireland.
