Its softer material makes it an entry-level option for clients with heightened oral sensitivity who are not yet ready for firmer tip textures. Therapy Goals Provide gentle vibratory and tactile input to the tongue dorsum and lateral margins to reduce oral hypersensitivity Support early tongue-bowl shaping and tongue-to-spoon contact for pre-feeding skill development Facilitate lip closure and graded oral motor response to spoon input Prepare clients for acceptance of food from a standard spoon by introducing soft-spoon contact in a controlled, graded manner Key Benefits Soft durometer material reduces the intensity of tactile input, making it appropriate for highly sensitive clients Spoon shape mimics functional feeding contact to support generalization to mealtime activities Compatible with both original and rechargeable Sensi handles via the quarter-turn attachment system BPA-free, FDA-compliant, latex-free materials safe for oral use Easy to clean and inspect; replaces quickly mid-session with no tools required Ideal for: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) implementing Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) or Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) Occupational therapists (OTs) addressing oral sensory processing and feeding goals Feeding therapists working on pre-feeding preparation and oral desensitization Clients with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or sensory processing disorders Early intervention programs, school-based therapy settings, and private practice clinics What's Included 1 x Sensi® Soft Spoon Tip Product Details Material Soft-durometer TPE; BPA-free, latex-free, lead-free, phthalates-free Handle compatibility Fits all TalkTools® Sensi® handles (original and rechargeable) via quarter-turn attachment Safety and compliance FDA-compliant; BPA-free, latex-free, lead-free, phthalates-free Sold individually Handle purchased separately Care Instructions Before first use, wash the tip thoroughly with soap and warm running water.
