TalkTools® Straw #2
TalkTools Straw #2
TalkTools Straw #2 is the second step in the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy, a structured therapy program that progressively increases the difficulty of drawing liquid through a straw to build lip, jaw, and tongue strength. Straw #1 is the easiest; Straw #8 is the most demanding. Lip blocks, which are sold separately, can be added to further target lip rounding and seal.
Therapy Goals
- Build lip seal, rounding, and sustained muscular engagement through structured straw drinking
- Develop jaw stability and graded tongue movement during liquid intake
- Progress oral motor strength and coordination along the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy
- Support the development of functional feeding and drinking skills
- Moderate resistance level targets clients who have progressed beyond Straw #1
- Compatible with separately sold lip blocks for additional lip seal targeting
- Consistent straw hierarchy design ensures measurable, documented progress
- Affordable for individual replacement or program expansion
- Children and adults receiving Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for feeding or speech
- Clients who have mastered Straw #1 and are ready for increased resistance
- Clients with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or hypotonia affecting oral motor function
- Speech-language pathologists and feeding therapists using the OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy
- Private practice, school-based, and early intervention settings
- 1 x TalkTools Straw #2 (shape may vary; difficulty and efficacy are unchanged)
- Lip blocks (sold separately; required for targeted lip seal work)
| Material | BPA-free plastic |
| Part of | OPT Straw Drinking Hierarchy (position 2 of 8) |
| Dishwasher safe | No. Hand wash only. |
- Wash before first use with mild soap and warm water; rinse thoroughly
- Clean after each use with mild soap and warm water
