hypotonia

Can anyone tell me anything about it?  We had a private evaluation with an OT last night and she immediately told us DD has low tone.  Totally makes sense.  She wears out easily and has a hard time with oral exercises such as sticking out your tongue, licking your lips, and she has an expressive speech delay/apraxia.  I'm just surprised that no one mentioned it to us until now at 2.5.

She made it sound like no big deal but google seems to tell another story (as always).  We will be following up with our pedi next week but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone had any advice?  We will be working with the OT for a few sessions so she can teach us how to do daily oral exercises and she suggested swimming lessons.  Anything else I need to know?
