Build-a-Straw is a Therapists delight. Both Occupational and Speech Therapists love long straws, the harder it is to suck through them the better. By being able to create your own straw, you can make it a challenge to suck your drink through, or blow bubbles through. This action will strengthen your tongue, mouth, and throat muscles.
Strengthening these muscles you can help with speech correction or improvement. This is also a tool used for language development. If your therapist doesn’t know about this tool, bring it along to a session and watch how excited they become finding such a great resource.
