Description
Precise food placement is a critical technique in feeding therapy, requiring a fork that allows the clinician to control where food contacts the tongue, teeth, and lateral surfaces of the mouth. The Metal Cocktail Fork is a slim, durable feeding therapy tool designed for targeted food placement and control, available in packs of 3, 6, or 18 to support multi-client clinical use or consistent home practice.
Therapy Goals

- Support lateral tongue movement and molar chewing by placing food at the lateral borders of the tongue
- Facilitate the use of varied tongue and jaw positions during structured food introduction
- Provide consistent, controlled food delivery during feeding protocols requiring precise placement
- Support safe, structured food introduction in feeding therapy programs
