Have you ever found yourself sticking your tongue out while concentrating on an activity, like cutting something or backing up your car? That’s called overflow, or overflow-associated movements. Although many of us do it, sometimes overflow can be a cause for concern.
In today’s episode, we define what overflow is and give some examples of how it can present itself. You’ll hear about when this would be visible during an OT session, along with what some red flags would be. Overflow itself isn’t an issue, but it can be, depending on the underlying cause. We also discuss how to help children with overflow.
Wrapping up, we begin the new Q&A segment of our show, where we answer two listener questions. Tune in to hear it all!
