TalkTools® Straw #5
TalkTools Straw #5
Straw #5 is part of the TalkTools Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) Straw Drinking Hierarchy, a sequenced eight-step system that progressively increases the effort required to draw liquid through the straw. This intermediate-level straw builds the lip rounding, tongue retraction, and jaw grading skills needed for functional straw drinking and speech development.
Therapy Goals
- Develop lip protrusion and rounding needed for straw drinking and speech
- Strengthen tongue retraction to replace compensatory suckle patterns
- Build jaw grading and jaw stability for oral-motor control
- Progress the client systematically through increasing levels of straw-drinking resistance
- Support the oral-motor prerequisites for speech sound production
- Part of an 8-step validated hierarchy that enables measurable clinical progression
- Increases resistance gradually, ensuring client success at each level before advancing
- Targets multiple oral structures simultaneously: lips, tongue, and jaw
- Compatible with the TalkTools Straw Cups for spill-resistant practice
- Lightweight, portable design suitable for clinic and home use
- Children and adults learning or relearning functional straw drinking
- Clients with hypotonia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or autism spectrum disorder
- Individuals with compensatory oral-motor patterns such as suckle drinking
- Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and occupational therapists (OTs) using OPT programs
- Feeding therapists in early intervention, school-based, or clinical settings
- 1 x Straw #5
- Lip Block: sold separately
