M.O.R.E can be used to facilitate the integration of the mouth with sensory and postural development, including self-regulation and attention.

The suck/swallow/breathe (SSB) synchrony has a pervasive influence on all areas of motor development and coordination. Awareness of these influences leads to powerful strategies that support improved sensory motor, cognitive and psychosocial development.
