TalkTools® Blowing Durations Tubes for Oral Motor Therapy


 

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.

By lengthening the tube and switching from the fuzzy to the plastic ball you can make the activity or exercise more difficult as well as fun, as the child or adult gains proficiency.

Each tube can be extended to more than 3 times their initial length of 8 inches. Each tube can be connected to each other and extended until the desired duration is reached!
