Let's Get Started

What is OPT (Oral Placement Therapy)?

TalkTools uses Oral Placement Therapy, which adds a tactile component to traditional speech & feeding therapy — most of which is audiovisual. OPT can be used with individuals of many ages and ability levels.

Parents are welcome in our courses

While our courses are mainly designed for the therapist audience, you are more than welcome — and encouraged — to participate in them.

We offer a 50% parent discount on all training (parents only — not therapists).
