Oral Motor

Duo Spoon

Children love the playful texture and friendly flexibility! Developed by Marsha Dunn Klein, the DuoSpoon is a creative oral motor tool for children with sensory challenges. It's actually two tools in one: both ends of the DuoSpoon provide sensory variation. The sensation bumps on one end provide a bridge to texture acceptance. Once the child likes mouthing this end, tastes of food can be introduced. The child can be offered a favorite puree from a spoon which has the texture built in! The "speed bump" end provides a gentle wake up as the upper lip moves across the spoon bowl, and helps increase upper lip activity in food removal. Different food textures can further vary the child's experience with this end of the spoon. The DuoSpoon is made of FDA approved food-grade, very flexible, yet sturdy, silicone. Colors vary.

SpecialNeeds® Feeders

Invented by a mother of a child with a cleft palate, these unique feeders are suitable for children with oral/facial abnormalities and children with feeding and sucking problems.

The reservoir always remains full, so none of the baby's effort is wasted. If the baby needs a little help nursing, you can squeeze the reservoir and release a small amount of milk into the baby's mouth. The SpecialNeeds Feeders are not suitable for babies with swallowing difficulties.
