Therapy Goals
- Support spoon acceptance and oral loading through graduated tip introduction during feeding sessions
- Facilitate lip closure and graded jaw movement during spoon feeding using varied spoon tip profiles
- Provide controlled vibrotactile input to the lips and tongue to improve sensory readiness for food intake
- Promote tongue protrusion, retraction, and lateralization needed for safe bolus management
- Support transitions from caregiver-led to semi-independent spoon feeding
- Address oral hypersensitivity that interferes with food acceptance and utensil tolerance
Key Benefits
- Focused tip selection: seven spoon and functional feeding tips designed specifically for feeding therapy contexts
- Textured and smooth tip options allow therapists to progress clients along a sensory hierarchy
- Vibration delivered through each tip enhances sensory input during feeding skill-building activities
- Pairs seamlessly with the full TalkTools Sensi® tip library for expanded clinical flexibility
- Compact kit ideal for feeding-focused therapists who need spoon tip variety without a full essentials set
