Thumbs Up! Oral Habit Program
THUMBS UP! is an oral habit elimination program created by Simon Says Speech that incorporates behavioral modification and positive reinforcement to break the habit and reverse the negative effects of thumb/finger sucking (changes in tongue/teeth positioning, swallowing problems, speech sound errors).
This fun 30-Day program empowers a child and motivates them to accomplish their goal of eliminating sucking. With just a little hard work and a few rewards along the way, this program has proven to be effective. No harsh or painful appliances are used. This program is designed for children ages 5 to 9, but may be appropriate for other children on a case by case basis.
