Lip Block
The Lip Block is a colorful oral placement accessory designed for use with the TalkTools Straw Kit as part of the therapeutic straw drinking hierarchy. It supports the development of tongue retraction, controlled tongue movements, and lip rounding through precise straw placement, and can be used successfully with very young children, adults, and individuals across all levels of cognitive ability.
Therapy Goals
