Available individually as Tubes, Shapes, or Blocks, or as a Complete Program with instructional videos for full clinical implementation. Therapy Goals Provide multisensory tactile and proprioceptive input to facilitate motor planning and sequencing for bilabial phoneme production. Build muscle memory and consistent motor patterns for the m, p, and b speech sounds through structured, graded tool use. Facilitate sensory awareness of lip and jaw positioning and movement during targeted bilabial phoneme practice. Support treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and developmental dyspraxia through sensory-motor hierarchies. Develop volitional, consistent control of bilabial sounds for functional speech production across contexts. Key Benefits Multisensory design: addresses the m, p, and b phonemes through tactile, proprioceptive, and visual channels simultaneously. Flexible formats: available as individual tool sets (Tubes, Shapes, Blocks) or as a Complete Program with clinical instructional videos. Structured hierarchy: the Complete Program provides clinical guidance for SLP-led implementation. Flexible purchasing options: therapists can acquire individual components or the full program as needed. Wide clinical applicability: suitable for children and adults across a range of motor speech diagnoses and ability levels. Ideal for: Children and adults with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) or developmental dyspraxia. Clients targeting bilabial phoneme production for m, p, and b sounds in speech therapy. Speech-language pathologists implementing multisensory approaches to motor speech treatment. Occupational therapists supporting oral motor and sensory processing goals. Early intervention, private practice, school-based, and clinic settings. What's Included Tubes option: TalkTools Apraxia Tubes set. Shapes option: TalkTools Apraxia Shapes set.
