Special-Kit (Oral Sensory Integration Therapy)

The SpeechGears Therapeutic Special Kit is an all-in-one, professional-grade oral sensory integration therapy kit designed to support speech therapists, special educators, caregivers, and parents working with children and adults who face speech delays, feeding challenges, oral motor weakness, or sensory processing disorders. Carefully curated and quality-tested, this kit combines multiple therapeutic tools in a single set to aid speech development, oral motor skills, tactile stimulation, feeding readiness, and sensory regulation.

What’s Inside the Kit?

The Therapeutic Special Kit is a versatile powerhouse featuring 9 essential tools:

• V-Pen (Vibration Device): The core of the kit, providing soothing or stimulating tactile input.
• Specialized Tips: Includes the Uni-Tip, Pointed-Tip, and Talk-Tip for targeted sensory work.
• Chew & Sensory Tools: Includes the Hickey, Sensory-Bite, and Oro-Tube to improve biting and chewing skills.
• Tongue Placement Tools: Includes the TT-LR (Lateralization), TT-UD (Elevation), and Tongue-Steer for precise tongue positioning and control.

Key Benefits

• Improved Speech Clarity: Targeted exercises help strengthen the muscles required for articulation and phoneme production.
• Sensory Normalization: Helps reduce oral hypersensitivity or seek-and-find behaviors through controlled vibration and varied textures.
• Enhanced Feeding Skills: Supports the development of proper jaw stability, tongue lateralization, and bolus management.
• Professional Grade Quality: Durable, easy to clean, and designed for repeated clinical or home use.

How to Use

• Preparation: Ensure all tools are sterilized using SpeechGears’ recommended safety procedures.
• Vibration Therapy: Attach the desired tip (e.g., Talk-Tip) to the V-Pen. Turn it on to provide sensory stimulation to the lips, tongue, or cheeks.
• Tongue Training: Use the TT-UD to guide the tongue upward for sounds like /l/ or /t/, or the TT-LR to encourage side-to-side movement necessary for chewing.
• Biting Practice: Use the Oro-Tube or Sensory-Bite to practice repetitive biting patterns and increase jaw endurance.
• Guidance: For best results, follow a program designed by a certified Speech-Language Pathologist.
