TalkTools® Duration Tubes

TalkTools® Duration Tubes

The TalkTools Duration Tubes are a clinical oral motor tool that teaches clients to sustain controlled oral airflow on a single exhalation. Duration is a foundational component of speech and voicing, and these tubes provide a structured, visual approach to building the prerequisite airflow control needed before advancing to the Horn, Bubble, and Candle Blowing Hierarchies.

Therapy Goals

  • Build sustained, controlled oral airflow on a single exhalation
  • Develop abdominal grading as a prerequisite for oral airflow-based therapy activities
  • Provide visual feedback to help clients monitor and extend exhalation duration
  • Establish foundational airflow skills before introducing the Horn, Bubble, and Candle Blowing Hierarchies
  • Support vocalization and verbalization during connected speech tasks
  • Provides clear visual feedback that helps clients understand and self-monitor their airflow duration
  • Serves as an entry-level prerequisite activity before horn, bubble, and candle blowing hierarchies
  • Supports a systematic, hierarchy-based approach to Oral Placement Therapy (OPT)
  • Suitable for use with a wide range of ages and diagnoses
  • Described and referenced in the TalkTools clinical text, allowing for evidence-based implementation
  • Durable and easy to clean for repeated clinical and home use
  • Clients with motor speech disorders including dysarthria and apraxia of speech
  • Children and adults with low oral muscle tone related to cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or autism spectrum disorder
  • Speech-language pathologists implementing OPT programs requiring controlled airflow
  • Clients beginning work on abdominal grading and respiratory support for speech
  • Clinic, school-based, and home therapy settings
  • 1 x Set of TalkTools Duration Tubes
Material BPA-free, food-safe plastic
Dishwasher safe Top rack only
Safety BPA-free, latex-free
