TalkTools Straw #2
TalkTools Straw #2 is the second step in the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy, a structured therapy program that progressively increases the difficulty of drawing liquid through a straw to build lip, jaw, and tongue strength. Straw #1 is the easiest; Straw #8 is the most demanding. Lip blocks, which are sold separately, can be added to further target lip rounding and seal.
Therapy Goals
Build lip seal, rounding, and sustained muscular engagement through structured straw drinking
Develop jaw stability and graded tongue movement during liquid intake
Progress oral motor strength and coordination along the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy
Support the development of functional feeding and drinking skills
Moderate resistance level targets clients who have progressed beyond Straw #1
Compatible with separately sold lip blocks for additional lip seal targeting
Affordable for individual replacement or program expansion
Children and adults receiving Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for feeding or speech
Clients who have mastered Straw #1 and are ready for increased resistance
Clients with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or hypotonia affecting oral motor function
