Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Evaluate changes in dysphagia and severity following a regimen of oral motor therapy and oral facial facilitation.
* Assess improvements in swallowing function, including ease of swallowing and reduction in dysphagia symptoms, after implementing oral motor therapy and oral facial facilitation.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2\. Participants aged 3 to 7 years, as this is a common demographic affected by spastic CP.
3\. Clinical diagnosis of dysphagia, confirmed by a speech-language pathologist or related healthcare provider.
4\. No recent significant changes in neurological status or medical condition within the last six months.
5\. Sufficient cognitive ability to follow simple instructions during therapy sessions, as assessed by a qualified professional.
6\. Parental or guardian consent obtained for participants under 18, along with assent from participants when appropriate.
7\. No recent (within the last three months) oral motor therapy interventions that could confound results.
8\. Willingness and ability of the participant to engage in therapy sessions consistently.
9\. Clearance from a physician to participate in oral motor therapy and related interventions.
Exclusion Criteria
2\. Serious medical conditions or comorbidities that could interfere with therapy (e.g., severe respiratory issues).
3\. Any surgical interventions affecting the oral or pharyngeal region within the last year.
4\. Concurrent participation in other clinical trials or interventions that could affect swallowing outcomes.
