What I've just described is what Freud called the oral stage.
He stresses the importance of an oral stage that is never entirely overcome, and that finds its echoes in the sounds uttered by infants, in the gurgles and rumbles of the body, and in dialect (151).
The clinician will: (1) visually inspect and assess ROM, strength, and coordination of individual oral structures, including lips, tongue (anterior, middle, and posterior), and soft palate; and (2) assess the functional movement patterns required for the oral stage of swallowing, including food bolus manipulation during chewing, cohesive food bolus formation, anterior-to-posterior transit of cohesive food bolus, and transfer or dropping of food bolus into pharynx.
