The generous open cut-out gives therapists and caregivers a clear view of lip and tongue movement during drinking, and volume markings on the cup sides make monitoring fluid intake straightforward. Three cup sizes — 1.5 oz., 3 oz., and 8 oz. — support a graduated hierarchy from small to full-volume drinking, fitting into structured TalkTools feeding therapy programs. A smiley face on the cup bottom adds a motivating cue for younger clients. For clinical guidance on cup drinking hierarchies, TalkTools OPT training courses provide the framework. Browse the full cups collection or pair with the Magenta Spoon (Bumpy) for a complete feeding tool set.
