TalkTools® Spinner™ and Toothies™
TalkTools® Spinner™ and Toothies™
The TalkTools® Spinner™ and Toothies™ is a battery-operated vibrating oral tool and disposable oral swab set designed for diagnosing sensory-motor deficits, promoting oral cavity awareness, and reducing sensory avoidance behaviors. Commonly used as a pre-therapy sensory activity, it prepares clients who do not yet tolerate oral placement tools for feeding and speech therapy by building oral sensitivity awareness and tolerance.
Therapy Goals
Diagnose and assess hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, and tactile defensiveness in and around the oral cavity prior to feeding or speech therapy.
Promote sensory awareness and tolerance of tactile input within the oral cavity and on facial structures.
Reduce tactile defensiveness and oral hypersensitivity through graduated desensitization using the vibrating Spinner.
Prepare clients for oral placement tools and feeding interventions by building tolerance to vibrotactile oral contact.
Improve responsiveness to sensory information on and within the oral cavity to support feeding and speech therapy goals.
Dual-function tool: serves as both a diagnostic tool (identifying sensory conditions) and a therapeutic tool (improving sensory responsiveness).
Vibrating Spinner provides controlled vibrotactile input for oral desensitization and sensory facilitation.
Disposable Toothies allow hygienic, client-specific application during assessment and treatment sessions.
Effective pre-therapy sensory preparation for clients who do not yet tolerate oral placement tools in the mouth.
Reveals sensory conditions including hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, and tactile defensiveness that may interfere with oral placement, feeding, and speech therapy.
Includes TalkTools original instruction booklet for clinical guidance and implementation.
Children and adults who are not yet tolerating oral placement tools or feeding therapy interventions.
Clients with tactile defensiveness or oral hypersensitivity affecting feeding or speech therapy participation.
Clients with oral hyposensitivity who benefit from vibrotactile stimulation to build oral awareness.
Speech-language pathologists conducting oral sensory assessments prior to OPT or feeding therapy.
Occupational therapists addressing oral sensory processing and tactile tolerance.
Feeding therapists working with clients on pre-feeding sensory readiness.
