8-Piece Disassemblable Speech Therapy Probe Replacements Set
This comprehensive set includes 8 hollow tubes and 16 interchangeable attachments of varying shapes and sizes, designed for effective and versatile speech therapy. Each attachment easily inserts into the tubes from one or both ends. The set features diverse tools addressing various articulation needs:
- Cone Probes: Smooth cones relax the tongue tip and sides (lateral tongue release), while ridged cones activate lateral tongue margins.
- Comb Probes: Designed to relax hypertonic tongue muscles, the dual-ended comb probes offer precise, gliding massage across the tongue’s surface.
- Ball Probes: Various-sized ball tips are traditionally used for the articulation of the “R” sound. Smaller balls provide targeted massage.
- Bone Probes: Two identical, yet differently sized, curved tips offer similar functionality to ball probes, but with improved ergonomic handling.
- Spatula Probes: A modified spatula design, featuring a flat triangle and a miniature rectangular scoop. Ideal for tongue muscle activation and retraction.
- Star Probes: Needle-like tips are perfect for tongue release techniques. The textured surface also enables kneading massage.
- Bulb Probes: One end features a bulbous spear, while the other has a thickened rounded stick. Suitable for gliding along articulatory muscles, the spear is also useful for tongue release. The bulb is beneficial for practicing [sh], [zh], [ch], [shch] sounds (forming a “cup” shape), while the rounded end aids in [r] and [r’] sounds.
- Rod Probes: Includes a slightly curved, pointed rod for tongue release and activation, and a miniature spatula for gentle massage on small articulatory areas, especially useful in interdental sigma.
