The Marshalla Oral Sensorimotor Test (MOST) is a comprehensive and quick assessment designed to put a numerical value on oral movement, oral-tactile sensitivity, facial and oral tone, as well as basic respiration, phonation, and resonation skills. The MOST is the first exam to allow speech-language pathologists an opportunity to place a numerical value on the oral exam.
Clients
The MOST identifies jaw, lip, and tongue movement problems. It is optimal for children with concomitant feeding difficulties, neurological deficits, developmental disorders, and sensory processing disorders. It is appropriate for children four years and older.
Scores
The MOST provides an Overall Oral Sensorimotor Score as well as individual scores on subtests. You may use the scores to measure pre- and post treatment abilities. This easy-to-use evaluation allows the therapist to identify strengths and weaknesses in the following areas:
Subtests
The subtests of the MOST allow the examiner to look closely at individual areas of speech motor control.
Report Writing
Speech-language pathologists often write general observations about respiration, phonation, resonation, and oral movement. The MOST allows speech-language pathologists to provide scores to back up their claims. For example, in the area of "Tongue Movement," a typical report statement might be: "John demonstrated poor control of tongue movement." Using scores from the MOST, therapists can write specific statements such as: "John scored 2/8 on the Tongue Function subtest of the MOST. He failed all items related to tongue placement."
Valid And Reliable
The MOST research study sample included 160 children, ages 4;0 to 7;11 from across the United States. Data from this sample is the basis for the five subtests and the four sections of the Motor Function subtest.
