TalkTools® Magenta Fork™ (Textured) - 12-Pack
Feeding therapists reach for the textured Magenta Fork when a client is ready for stronger tactile input than a smooth surface provides. The raised texture across the tines creates richer sensory feedback during each bite, supporting clients who are working toward greater food acceptance and tolerance for varied textures. Like the rest of the line, it works well for hand-over-hand feeding guidance and lip closure practice, and it shares the same handle as the TalkTools® Magenta Spoon for a unified feel across utensils. Pair it with other items from the feeding tools collection or check out TalkTools courses if you want deeper training in oral placement feeding strategies.
