TalkTools® Pre-Feeding Kit

The TalkTools Pre-Feeding Kit is a comprehensive clinical toolkit designed to develop the oral sensory motor skills that support safe, effective, and nutritive feeding. Developed in response to therapist and family requests for a single kit appropriate across ages and a wide range of feeding challenges, this kit provides everything needed to begin a structured pre-feeding program using the TalkTools Sensi® vibrating oral tool and a curated selection of specialized tips.

Therapy Goals

  • Develop oral sensory motor skills necessary for safe and nutritive feeding
  • Facilitate graded sensory stimulation of the jaw, lips, tongue, and cheeks to build pre-feeding readiness
  • Support desensitization of oral hypersensitivity as a precursor to food acceptance and spoon feeding
  • Strengthen jaw grading and controlled bite force needed for safe chewing and swallowing
  • Promote tongue lateralization and controlled movement to support bolus management
  • Prepare the oral musculature for spoon feeding, straw drinking, and cup drinking transitions
  • Designed by TalkTools clinicians specifically for pre-feeding programs across ages and diagnoses
  • Includes tip shapes selected to address the full range of pre-feeding oral motor objectives
  • Pairs directly with the book A Sensory-Motor Approach to Feeding for a structured clinical framework
  • The Sensi® vibrating handle enhances sensory input to maximize therapeutic effect with each tip
  • Appropriate for diverse client populations including infants, toddlers, and individuals with complex needs
  • Reusable pouch keeps all tips organized and clean between sessions
  • Compatible with evidence-based pre-feeding and OPT hierarchies
  • Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) providing pre-feeding and feeding therapy
  • Occupational therapists (OTs) addressing oral sensory defensiveness and feeding readiness
  • Clients with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or complex medical histories
  • Infants and children with oral hypersensitivity, oral aversion, or sensory-based feeding difficulties
  • NICU follow-up programs and early intervention services
