Oral motor skills give us the ability to do many things one of which is the ability to blow through our mouth for things like bubbles or birthday candles. I had a student that had been working long and hard at learning to blow through her mouth. She was making great progress. On her birthday we placed a few candles on her cake and sang "happy birthday" at the end of the song she went to blow out the candles but instead of using her mouth she decided to use her nose. Lets just say more than oxygen came out her nostrils. She was thrilled because at that moment all the cake was hers. Maybe that was her plan all along.
