      How TalkTools Began

      When Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson founded TalkTools® she focused on serving those with speech, oral placement, and feeding disorders. Utilizing a multi-modal approach to communication disorders and individual treatment plans, Johnson provided clients with the most effective therapy and the best possible outcomes.
      However, as her teachings in oral placement therapy techniques continued, the therapists and caregivers attending her courses consistently expressed a desire for tools specifically designed to help them implement what they had learned.
      In response, she created the TalkTools® brand and developed a series of user-friendly products to correspond with her hierarchical approach to oral placement therapy. Many of these items, including the original Horn and Straw Hierarchies and Jaw Grading Bite Blocks, are now household names in the oral placement.
      TalkTools® was created to provide the best Oral-Placement Therapy (OPT) techniques, training, and tools to clients, therapists and parents.Our therapy techniques add a tactile component to feeding and speech therapy, enabling clients to “feel” the movements necessary for the development of speech clarity.
      What We Do

      Tools

      Our signature items, like the Horn and Straw Hierarchies and Jaw Grading Bite Blocks, are now household names in the oral placement field. Leaders in the industry for 30 years, TalkTools® has positioned itself as the authoritative worldwide source for oral placement, sensory, and feeding therapy supplies.

      Techniques

      Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) uses a hierarchical based approach to improve speech clarity and feeding skills in individuals of all ages and across diagnoses. These innovative techniques focus on motor movement activities used to improve phonation, resonation, and speech clarity. Combined with a tactile-sensory approach, OPT provides a comprehensive solution to a variety of speech and feeding issues. OPT involves the use of therapy tools to train and transition muscle movements for speech production. Our techniques, applied in combination with the tools, make the difference in client’s lives.
