Meet Jordan, a spirited 6-year-old who has always been determined to overcome her speech and sensory challenges. From her early years, Jordan struggled with articulating specific sounds and had difficulty with sensory processing, which affected her confidence and social interactions. Her parents, searching for effective solutions, came across the TalkTools Jiggler Shark and Turtle Sensory Awareness Tool—a versatile, therapeutic tool designed to support children like Jordan in their journey toward clearer communication and improved feeding skills.
The TalkTools Jiggler Set, featuring the Shark and Turtle designs, provides targeted sensory stimulation to Jordan’s jaw and lips. This gentle vibration helps to engage her muscles in a way that traditional speech therapy tools cannot. Over time, the consistent use of these tools has helped Jordan improve her articulation and sensory awareness, reducing the frustration she once felt during speech exercises.
Jordan’s therapy sessions with the Jiggler Shark and Turtle focused on key therapeutic goals, including increasing sensory awareness, improving lip rounding, refining tongue retraction, enhancing motor skills, and addressing developmental delays. These activities were tailored to her individual needs—whether it was enhancing her ability to pronounce challenging sounds like /w/, /r/, and /sh/, or mastering specific tasks like bubble blowing, straw drinking, and targeted speech sound practice.
One of the key benefits of the TalkTools Jiggler Shark and Turtle is its versatility. The tools allow Jordan to participate in various therapeutic activities, all while being battery-powered for convenience. Additionally, each tool requires adult supervision to ensure safety, making it an ideal option for children like Jordan who may have heightened sensory needs or limited control over their movements.
As Jordan practiced regularly with the Jiggler Shark and Turtle, her progress was undeniable. Her lip control became more fluid, and her jaw muscles began responding more naturally to exercises. She showed improvements in speech clarity, which in turn increased her confidence in social situations. Parents and therapists alike began noticing changes in her overall ability to communicate and interact more effectively with peers and adults.
Safety and effectiveness are paramount, and the TalkTools Jiggler Shark and Turtle is designed with those considerations in mind. With thoughtful usage, Jordan has reached crucial milestones—reducing tension in her jaw, enhancing her ability to produce a variety of sounds, and fostering a deeper sensory connection between her speech and physical movements.
