TalkTools Straw #6
TalkTools Straw #6
Straw #6 is part of the TalkTools Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) Straw Drinking Hierarchy, a sequenced eight-step system that progressively increases the effort required to draw liquid through the straw. This advanced-level straw builds the lip rounding, tongue retraction, and jaw grading skills needed for functional straw drinking and speech development.
Therapy Goals
Develop lip protrusion and rounding needed for straw drinking and speech
Strengthen tongue retraction to replace compensatory suckle patterns
Build jaw grading and jaw stability for oral-motor control
Progress the client systematically through increasing levels of straw-drinking resistance
Support the oral-motor prerequisites for speech sound production
Part of an 8-step validated hierarchy that enables measurable clinical progression
Increases resistance gradually, ensuring client success at each level before advancing
Targets multiple oral structures simultaneously: lips, tongue, and jaw
Compatible with the TalkTools Straw Cups for spill-resistant practice
Lightweight, portable design suitable for clinic and home use
Children and adults learning or relearning functional straw drinking
Clients with hypotonia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or autism spectrum disorder
Individuals with compensatory oral-motor patterns such as suckle drinking

Feeding therapists in early intervention, school-based, or clinical settings
