TalkTools® Spinner™ and Toothies™
The TalkTools® Spinner™ and Toothies™ is a battery-operated vibrating oral tool and disposable oral swab set designed for diagnosing sensory-motor deficits, promoting oral cavity awareness, and reducing sensory avoidance behaviors. Commonly used as a pre-therapy sensory activity, it prepares clients who do not yet tolerate oral placement tools for feeding and speech therapy by building oral sensitivity awareness and tolerance.
Therapy Goals
- Diagnose and assess hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, and tactile defensiveness in and around the oral cavity prior to feeding or speech therapy.
- Promote sensory awareness and tolerance of tactile input within the oral cavity and on facial structures.
- Reduce tactile defensiveness and oral hypersensitivity through graduated desensitization using the vibrating Spinner.
- Prepare clients for oral placement tools and feeding interventions by building tolerance to vibrotactile oral contact.
- Improve responsiveness to sensory information on and within the oral cavity to support feeding and speech therapy goals.
- Dual-function tool: serves as both a diagnostic tool (identifying sensory conditions) and a therapeutic tool (improving sensory responsiveness).
- Vibrating Spinner provides controlled vibrotactile input for oral desensitization and sensory facilitation.
- Disposable Toothies allow hygienic, client-specific application during assessment and treatment sessions.
- Effective pre-therapy sensory preparation for clients who do not yet tolerate oral placement tools in the mouth.
- Reveals sensory conditions including hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, and tactile defensiveness that may interfere with oral placement, feeding, and speech therapy.
- Includes TalkTools original instruction booklet for clinical guidance and implementation.
- Children and adults who are not yet tolerating oral placement tools or feeding therapy interventions.
- Clients with tactile defensiveness or oral hypersensitivity affecting feeding or speech therapy participation.
- Clients with oral hyposensitivity who benefit from vibrotactile stimulation to build oral awareness.
- Speech-language pathologists conducting oral sensory assessments prior to OPT or feeding therapy.
- Occupational therapists addressing oral sensory processing and tactile tolerance.
- Feeding therapists working with clients on pre-feeding sensory readiness.
- NICU, early intervention, private practice, school-based, and clinic settings.
