TalkTools® Sensi® Textured Spoon Tip
The TalkTools® Sensi® Textured Spoon Tip combines a spoon shape with a raised texture on the tip surface, providing increased tactile and vibrotactile stimulation to the tongue and lips compared to a smooth spoon tip. The added texture enhances sensory input for clients who require stronger oral proprioceptive feedback during pre-feeding and feeding therapy. See also the Sensi Spoon Tip for a smooth-surface version. For clinical training, see TalkTools OPT courses.
Therapy Goals
- Provide enhanced tactile and vibrotactile input to the tongue and lips via a textured spoon surface
- Increase oral sensory awareness and proprioceptive feedback in clients with hyposensitivity
- Support tongue-bowl shaping and lip closure tasks with heightened sensory engagement
- Facilitate acceptance of textured food contact by introducing texture on a controlled, non-food surface
- Raised texture delivers stronger sensory input than smooth spoon tips for clients with oral hyposensitivity
- Spoon shape supports direct skill transfer to functional spoon feeding
- Combines textural and vibrotactile stimulation for a multimodal sensory approach
- Compatible with all Sensi handles via the quarter-turn attachment
- BPA-free, FDA-compliant, latex-free materials safe for intraoral use
- Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) implementing Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) or Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)
- Occupational therapists (OTs) addressing oral sensory processing and feeding goals
- Feeding therapists working on pre-feeding preparation and oral desensitization
- Clients with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or sensory processing disorders
