Our resources are the best in the industry, and our products cater to every age and learning style, enabling effective treatment that parents can encourage outside of traditional speech therapy. The vast selection of tools and programs offered by TalkTools® ensures that every issue of oral and motor deficit, such as Down’s Syndrome, apraxia or autism, is addressed.

For infants and toddlers, there are several tools and instruments available to address issues of speech and feeding problems that can be caused by a number of deficiencies. Our most popular product, the TalkTools®Straw Kit, exercises the tongue to increase movement and reaction. All of our tools are carefully designed to be fun, and rewarding while learning how to activate and control oral motor centers.

To cater to preschool and school age children, TalkTools® provides toys and games that are engaging and entertaining, while still providing a therapeutic service. Horns, bubbles, and tubes all create interest and promote fun, while teaching important movements like lip closure, lip rounding, and tongue retraction.

Why TalkTools®?

From books and DVDs to toys, games, exercises, and of course—tools, TalkTools® provides the necessary resources so that children of all ages have the opportunity to discover the feeling of feeding and speech with comfort and confidence. Every one of our products comes with specific instructions for use so that you can be assured that you and your child are using TalkTools® products safely and correctly.
