Pre-Hierarchy Horn

Talk Tools is the US brand created by speech-language pathologist Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson, author of Oral Placement Therapy (OPT). What it offers is not a set of loose products but a method: training the jaw, the lips and the tongue separately through graded hierarchies, before asking the patient to produce the sound.

Oral Placement Therapy: how the material is organised

That approach shapes the catalogue. The Oral Placement Therapy starter kit brings together the basics to begin with, and from there the work is organised in scales: the Horn Kit blowing kit and the straw kit for children and adults step up in difficulty one level at a time, so progress is observable rather than a matter of impression. For jaw dissociation, bite blocks set and stabilise the opening, and the jaw exerciser works strength and symmetry. On tongue and lips, the lingual pack with lift and lateraliser trains the tip and the lateral edges separately, while the Lip Gym lip weights add load to lip closure.

Vibratory stimulation

The vibratory stimulation line stands on its own: you can see it in full at Sensi by Talk Tools, with its handle and interchangeable tips. For sensory work with younger children there is the Jiggler orofacial vibratory animal, and for specific cases the apraxia kit or the teether kit.
