Description
The TalkTools Jiggler Combo includes both the Shark and Turtle Jiggler models, two vibrating oral-motor tools designed to increase sensory awareness in the jaw and lip muscles while reducing oral tension. Each tool targets distinct therapeutic goals, making the combo a practical choice for clinicians working on feeding, speech sound development, and oral-motor readiness. Together, they address a wide spectrum of oral sensory and motor needs in a single purchase.
Therapy Goals
- Increase sensory awareness in the jaw and lip muscles to reduce oral tension and promote normalized oral function
- Improve lip closure and tongue retraction before exercise, feeding, and speech activities (Shark model)
- Encourage lip rounding and protrusion to support spoon slurping and straw drinking development (Turtle model)
- Support bilabial sound development, including /m/, /b/, and /p/ (Shark model)
- Build skills for vowel and consonant production, including /oo/, /oh/, /w/, /r/, /sh/, and /ch/ (Turtle model)
- Replace negative oral habits with structured, therapist-directed oral sensory input
Key Benefits
- Includes two complementary Jiggler models in one purchase, expanding the range of therapy goals addressable in a single session
- Vibration output delivers controlled, graded sensory input to jaw and lip musculature
- Shark model targets anterior tongue placement and lip closure goals for feeding and bilabial speech sounds
- Turtle model supports lip rounding, protrusion, and pre-feeding skills for spoon and straw use
