TalkTools® Sensi Vibrating Therapy Tool | NDIS Oral Motor Aid

Elevate oral motor therapy with the TalkTools® Sensi. This professional-grade assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with speech delays, feeding difficulties (dysphagia), or sensory processing differences.

While standard chew tools offer passive resistance, the Sensi brings therapeutic vibration to the table. This "wakes up the mouth," providing intense sensory input to the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw. It is a cornerstone tool for Oral Placement Therapy (OPT), helping to build the muscle tone and awareness required for safe eating and clear speech.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Improving Speech Clarity: The vibration helps increase awareness of specific oral structures. Therapists use it to teach tongue elevation (for T/D/L/N sounds) and lip closure (for M/P/B sounds), directly supporting communication goals.

Enhancing Feeding Safety: For users with weak jaw strength or poor chewing coordination, the Sensi helps train the jaw for stability and rotary chewing. This reduces the risk of choking and supports the transition to solid foods.

Sensory Regulation (Calming): The rhythmic vibration provides organizing proprioceptive input. This is highly effective for "sensory seekers" (who chew on clothes/objects) or for calming the nervous system before therapy or meals.

Desensitization: For participants with oral hypersensitivity (food aversions/gag reflex), the Sensi can be used to gradually introduce texture and sensation, normalizing the oral environment for better nutrition.

Key Features & Benefits

Multi-Speed & Pulse: Features one-click operation to cycle through continuous vibration or pulse modes, allowing therapy to be customized to the user's sensory threshold.
Ergonomic Design: The lightweight, textured handle offers an easy grip for both therapists and users, encouraging self-directed therapy where appropriate.
Interchangeable Tip System: Comes with the standard Blue Chewy Tip, but is compatible with a vast range of TalkTools Sensi Tips (sold separately) to target specific motor goals.
Memory Function: Remembers your last setting, making it quick and easy to restart therapy sessions.
Standard Power: Operates on a standard AAA battery (easy to replace), eliminating the need for specialized chargers.
