TalkTools® Sensory Bean Bag Kit
The TalkTools Sensory Bean Bag Kit provides a playful, non-threatening way to deliver facial massage and expose clients to a variety of tactile textures. Designed for use in pre-feeding programs, these bean bags support clients with hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity to touch and texture on the face, and are effective with clients who present with tactile-defensive behaviors, facial asymmetry, or limited midline orientation.
Therapy Goals
- Provide facial massage and tactile desensitization in a playful, non-threatening manner
- Expose clients to graduated textures to reduce hyper- or hyposensitivity to facial touch
- Support tactile normalization as a component of pre-feeding therapy
- Improve facial symmetry awareness and midline orientation through structured tactile input
- Prepare clients for oral motor activities by reducing tactile-defensive responses
- Four texture pairs (silky, bumpy, furry, scratchy) allow graded exposure to a range of tactile inputs
- Fun, engaging design reduces client resistance and supports a positive therapeutic experience
- Appropriate for both hyposensitive (under-responsive) and hypersensitive (over-responsive) clients
- Safe for use on the face, including with clients who have tactile-defensive behaviors
- Includes the original TalkTools instruction booklet for structured clinical implementation
- Suitable for clients of all ages in clinic, home, and school settings
- Children and adults with tactile defensiveness or tactile processing differences
- Clients with hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity to touch and texture on the face
- Clients with facial asymmetry or limited midline orientation
- Speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists implementing pre-feeding programs
- Feeding therapists using a sensory-motor approach to oral feeding preparation
