Clarity of speech, any ideas please?

Hello.
My DS is 4 (just). He has GDD, his language is severely delayed.
His language skills have really improved recently (long way to go still, but improving nonetheless), however he is still difficult to understand without contextual support (a bit like a person who's had too much to drink).
I have done the massaging of the mouth, the brushing, licking, blowing, etc, but he is still very unclear.

Does anyone have any ideas please? Are there any products out there that might help?
Thank you!

If you look on the Winslow website, www.winslow-cat.com/cgi-bin/winslow.storefront

they have a lot of products/games/books/exercises relating to
articulation and all aspects of speech.

Thank you TotalChaos.
Phoenix, happy to share what we have done with DS. I "met" you through the S&L group so I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunities to swap info.

There is a programme called 'talk tools' which is a series of oral motor exercises.

Thank you vjg13, that was a brilliant tip. The ARK'S grabber looks good, DS is constantly chewing on things.
Have you contacted these people? Or used their products? Is there any specific one you would recommend?

Thank you again.
