TalkTools® Jaw Grading Bite Blocks™ (Red)

The TalkTools® Jaw Grading Bite Blocks™ are a TalkTools bestseller used in essential Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) activities, including the Bite Block Hierarchy. Designed to promote symmetrical jaw strength, stability, and grading, they are an indispensable assessment and treatment tool for clients with weak jaw musculature evidenced during speech sound production or feeding. The hard, textured surface delivers proprioceptive feedback while supporting treatment of dysarthria, apraxia, dyspraxia, Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), and tethered oral tissues (TOTs).

Therapy Goals

  • Promote symmetrical jaw strength and stability through controlled bite resistance across a graduated six-level hierarchy.
  • Build jaw grading skills for controlled, symmetrical jaw opening and closing during feeding and speech sound production.
  • Address reduced jaw mobility, jaw sliding, or jaw jutting patterns in clients with weak jaw musculature.
  • Facilitate assessment and treatment of articulation, phonation, apraxia, dysarthria, and dyspraxia using graded jaw resistance.
  • Support treatment of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) and tethered oral tissues (TOTs).
  • Establish jaw stability as a prerequisite foundation for independent tongue and lip movements in speech and feeding therapy.
  • TalkTools bestseller: backed by extensive clinical history in OPT programs worldwide.
  • Hard, textured bite surface: provides proprioceptive feedback and resistance for targeted jaw strengthening and stability work.
  • Complete graduated hierarchy: two sets of six Bite Blocks support progressive jaw grading therapy.
