TalkTools Straw #2

TalkTools Straw #2

TalkTools Straw #2 is the second step in the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy, a structured therapy program that progressively increases the difficulty of drawing liquid through a straw to build lip, jaw, and tongue strength. Straw #1 is the easiest; Straw #8 is the most demanding. Lip blocks, which are sold separately, can be added to further target lip rounding and seal.

Therapy Goals

  • Build lip seal, rounding, and sustained muscular engagement through structured straw drinking
  • Develop jaw stability and graded tongue movement during liquid intake
  • Progress oral motor strength and coordination along the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy
  • Support the development of functional feeding and drinking skills
  • Moderate resistance level targets clients who have progressed beyond Straw #1
  • Compatible with separately sold lip blocks for additional lip seal targeting
  • Consistent straw hierarchy design ensures measurable, documented progress
  • Affordable for individual replacement or program expansion
  • Children and adults receiving Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for feeding or speech
  • Clients who have mastered Straw #1 and are ready for increased resistance
  • Clients with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or hypotonia affecting oral motor function
  • Speech-language pathologists and feeding therapists using the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy
  • Private practice, school-based, and early intervention settings
  • 1 x TalkTools Straw #2 (shape may vary; difficulty and efficacy are unchanged)
  • Lip blocks (sold separately; required for targeted lip seal work)
