Lip Block

The Lip Block is a colorful oral placement accessory designed for use with TalkTools Straws 1–8 from the Straw Kit (sold separately) as part of the therapeutic straw drinking hierarchy. It supports the development of tongue retraction, controlled tongue movements, and lip rounding through precise straw placement, and can be used successfully with very young children, adults, and individuals across all levels of cognitive ability.
