The depth of the hose in the water plays an important role in laxvoxing, as it determines the water resistance. The LAX VOX® tube holder fixes the LAX VOX® tube at your optimum height in the bottle and thus ensures that the tube does not accidentally slip too deep into the water. This is particularly important for children and neurological patients who are unable to keep a constant eye on the tube depth. The LAX VOX® tube holder is made of flexible foam and colour-coordinated with all our products. It can be easily stretched to allow the LAX VOX® hose to be inserted comfortably in the centre. The notch on the underside makes it easy to attach to a bottle neck with an internal diameter of at least 2.8 cm and a maximum external diameter of 4 cm. It is important that there is always a small gap through which the air can escape. If this is not the case, laxvoxing will be more strenuous. In this case, turn the tube holder upside down and use it without fixing it to the bottle. Here you can watch a video (german) and a flyer (engl.)

Take articulation training to the next level.The classic exercise of speaking with a cork between your teeth is not only absolutely helpful in speech therapy but also at drama schools! The reusable VoiceCork trains the coordination of the muscles involved in speaking, opens up the voice and thus improves articulation.LOGICANA recommendation:Make sure you don't bite down too hard on the VoiceCorkDo the test: Say the following sentence as you would always say it: "Hello, my name is LOGICANA and I love working on my pronounciation! With the VoiceCork, my training reaches a new dimension" Say the same sentence with the VoiceCork between your teeth.Can you recognize the differences? More jaw opening, precise tongue movements and pinpoint articulation.Why can't you just use an ordinary cork? The VoiceCork was specially designed for articulation and voice training.

ARK’s Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are a great complement to any oral motor tool box. Specially designed to work on jaw grading and stability, each arm has a different thickness to practice various jaw heights:The orange arms are 3mm and 6mm thickThe magenta arms are .7mm and 1cm thick The teal arms are 1,3cm and 1,5cm thick What is jaw grading and stability? Jaw grading is the ability to have controlled movements of the jaw to various jaw heights needed for speech and feeding skills. For example, note the difference in your jaw when saying “eee” vs “ahhh”. Or, imagine biting into a cracker vs a sandwich/burger. Your jaw has to open to different heights to accommodate those different sounds and foods. Jaw stability is the strength, coordination, and endurance needed to do so without the jaw sliding forward and/or sideways. Each Bite Block set comes with instructions including four exercises to help work on these skills. These Bite Blocks are firm for good resistance during jaw exercises, but not 100% rigid to be gentle on the teeth (for softer options to work on chewing skills, see the Grabber and/or Y-Chew). Each arm also has gentle sensory bumps to grip the teeth.medical grade, FDA & CE compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexEach block measures 18,4cm long in total, with each "arm" measuring about 7,4cm long and 1,3cm wide. Dishwasher-safeSold in a set (1 orange, 1 magenta, and 1 teal)CAUTION: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.

This essential tool is used in the famous activity “Bite Block hierarchy.”Jaw Grading Bite Blocks promote symmetrical jaw strength, stability, and grading for clients with weak jaw musculature evidenced during speech sound production or feeding (i.e. reduced mobility, sliding, or jutting).As many OPT (Oral Placement Therapy) tools, it is used both to diagnose and treat. Excellent for use with Dysarthria, Apraxia and Dyspraxia.A TalkTools bestseller that promotes jaw strength, stability, and gradingIncludes two sets of six Bite Blocks and TalkTools original instruction bookletReusable, durable and easy to clean, Hard textured surfaceAlso available in a Sensory Friendly (purple) set

Duration is a necessary component of speech, as it allows us to continue to vocalize or verbalize on a single exhalation. Duration is a goal we must address when working on improving oral airflow for abdominal grading in each of the air-for-phonation activities described in “Oral Placement Therapy for Speech Clarity and Feeding.”The Duration Tubes activity can provide the prerequisite skills for the Horn Hierarchy, Bubble Hierarchy and Candle Blowing Hierarchy. As you work through the hierarchies, your client will be required to use an increasing duration of airflow. Provide a visual cue for increasing controlled airflow.Here you can watch a video.Includes 3 Duration Tubes (colors may vary), 3 mouthpieces, 3 plastic balls, 3 puff balls, and TalkTools original instruction bookletWARNING! - CHOKING HAZARD due to small parts - Adult supervision is required at all time!
