MJ Talk Tools Oro Moto™ Vibration Brash Attachment Pointed Spoon tip (Green)

√ The Pointed Spoon Tip is a specialized oral motor and feeding tool, typically an attachment for a vibrating oral motor device like the MJ TalkTools . It is constructed of a firm material and features a unique shape that is half spoon and half pointed tip.  

√ Its design makes it a versatile tool for both speech and feeding protocols:  

√ Promotes Lip and Tongue Control: The pointed end is used to provide targeted tactile and vibratory cues. This design encourages lip rounding and protrusion (essential for speech sounds like /w/ and /u/), and facilitates tongue retraction (pulling the tongue back), which is critical for safe swallowing and to discourage a tongue thrust pattern during feeding.  

√ Spoon Feeding Protocol: The spoon bowl end is used in careful feeding protocols. The combination of the spoon shape with gentle vibration helps to increase oral sensory awareness during spoon feeding. The firm construction aids in presenting food in a controlled manner, while the vibration helps to "wake up the mouth" and promote an active upper lip for food removal and closure.  

√ Targeted Tactile Input: It is excellent for providing precise tactile placement cues to the lips, tongue, and cheeks, making it a valuable tool in Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for individuals with sensory or motor-based speech and feeding difficulties.
