#tonguedepressor

Tongue Depressor is most versatile device for the speech therapists. Wooden Tongue depressor has a lot of limitations while using on neurodiverse kids. It may chip off, if child bites it accidentally. It is simple in design and can be used once due to hygiene issue.

We realised that it’s a powerful and multi function device which can be used for all oral motor activities such as Tongue lateralisation, Tongue elevation, Tongue folding, frenum strengthening, lips strengthening, in oral sensories, test buds rejuvenation, and a lot more for that a Tongue Depressor should be properly designed. SPEECHGEARS Tongue Depressor is designed for all oral musculatures activities. It is transparent, colourful, flawless and has sensory surfaces. It has shear strength parallel to wooden tongue depressors but also can bend and come into original form. It can be used as many times and can be sterilised either by ETO process or by hot water. It’s also an anti fungal. I applaud SPEECHGEARS team for bringing such tools to help SLPs and phonologists.
