Small raised bumps along the tines provide noticeable but moderate input during each bite, which can help build oral awareness without overwhelming a sensitive client. Therapists use this fork for hand-over-hand guidance, lip closure practice, and gradual exposure to new food textures, and it pairs naturally with the TalkTools® Magenta Spoon for a matching feeding set. For more options, visit the feeding tools collection, and consider TalkTools courses for additional guidance on sequencing sensory feeding goals. Therapy Goals Provide oral awareness and tactile sensory input during structured feeding activities Encourage lip closure and lip-rounding engagement around the fork tines Support upper and lower lip stimulation during food presentation and acceptance Facilitate hand-over-hand feeding assistance between clinician, caregiver, and child Build tolerance and normalization of food textures through structured sensory exposure Promote generalization of feeding skills from the clinical setting to home routines Key Benefits Coordinates with the popular TalkTools® Magenta Spoon in design and feel for a unified utensil set Ergonomic Comfort Grip Handle makes hand-over-hand feeding assistance easier for caregivers and clinicians One of three surface options (Smooth, Bumpy, Textured) used to grade sensory input across a feeding program; this pack provides the Bumpy variant Stimulates both the upper and lower lip during feeding Lightweight and dishwasher safe on the top rack, making cleanup between sessions simple Made in the USA; meets FDA compliance and is latex-free, lead-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free Includes a reusable storage bag and basic instructions Works alongside other items from the feeding tools collection for a fuller therapy toolkit Supports carryover so families can keep practicing feeding goals at home Ideal for: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and occupational therapists (OTs) building feeding therapy plans Therapists working with children who show sensory processing difficulties or oral defensiveness Clients with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or related conditions affecting feeding Children who need a moderate sensory step between smooth and textured input Caregivers continuing feeding practice at home under therapist direction Private practice, school-based, NICU, and early intervention programs What's Included 12 x TalkTools® Magenta Fork™ (Bumpy) 1 x Reusable storage bag Basic instructions Product Details Surface Bumpy Available Variations Smooth, Bumpy, and Textured (each sold separately) Material FDA-compliant, BPA-free, latex-free, lead-free, phthalate-free plastic Handle Comfort Grip ergonomic design Care Dishwasher safe (top rack only) Country of Origin Made in the USA Compatibility Compatible with the TalkTools® Magenta Spoon and complementary feeding utensil sets Care Instructions Clean before first use by washing with warm water and mild soap, or place on the top rack of a dishwasher After each use, clean on the top rack of a dishwasher or with warm water and mild soap Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals Inspect forks before each use; discard at the first sign of wear, deformation, or damage Store in the included reusable storage bag when not in use Warning: Consult a licensed professional before using this product for therapy and dietary programs.
