I have searched through my resources and have not found anywhere in the literature that states AAP advises against using Speech Therapy for disorganized suck, or tongue movement issues. I have not seen any literature that states they do not advise the use of nipple shields (preterm transfer issue) or advise against frenuotomy. I had a pediatrician state that those statements are in the literature. Could someone help me find them to educate me. This came about due to a request for speech therapy to evaluate a disorganized suck on a term infant.
