He has been using the Zvibe for little over a month now and his mouth is generally closed and the drooling has stopped. ![]() The words that J did have were understandable by mom and dad but usually not others. He is almost 2.5 years old and when we first started speech he had about 10 words, for those unfamiliar 2 year olds should have around 200 words.

You can use it to provide tactile oral cues, to direct the articulators, and to wake up the mouth.
