Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 2014 Catalog! The past year has been a busy and exciting time at TalkTools®. We
have expanded our course schedule, completed new resources, generated new and fresh courses,
and continued our research commitment.
Our course schedule has been widespread this past year and included over 24 states and 14
countries. We were also able to introduce new courses and present at numerous conventions that
were attended by both parents and therapists. A special congratulations to the 21 therapists that
completed our advanced training this year.
This year two of our therapists, Lori Overland and Robyn Merkel-Walsh, completed their book, A
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding. This book is an amazing resource for therapists and parents
alike and provides techniques to use immediately. Additionally, Sara has completed her work in
developing a course specifically focused on the teen and adult population. The course titled “Oral
Phase Feeding and Speech for Teens and Adults” is going to be available at numerous US and
international locations this year, so keep your eye out. Sara’s book on this topic will be released later
this year.
PLEASE NOTE: Actual Tools may differ in color,
shape, or character from the image provided in
this catalog. TalkTools® reserves the right to
change the components of all programs and kits.

ROBYN MERKEL-WALSH, M.A., CCC-SLP
This course helps therapists transition Oral Placement skills into speech
sounds production, by transitioning muscle movements into word drills.
Robyn outlines early developing phonemes m,b,p,w,h,k,g,t,d and n, and
the pre-requisite skills needed for each sound via Oral Placement Therapy
examples. Next, Robyn helps clinicians transition those cues into words
through the OPT-S Kit. This short course helps therapists implement a
comprehensive tactile approach to therapy by taking Sara Rosenfeld-
Johnson’s “Three Part Treatment Plan” Approach into a more traditional
articulation therapy plan once a client can respond to “look at me and say
what I say.” Robyn also discusses evidenced based practice and how Oral
Placement Therapy is an extension of Van Riper’s Phonetic Treatment
Approach. A therapy session demonstration is provided for viewers to
model.

ORAL PHASE FEEDING AND SPEECH FOR TEENS AND ADULTS:
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES USING TACTILE INTERVENTIONS
(0.6 ASHA/AOTA CREDITS) SARA ROSENFELD JOHNSON, MS,CCC-SLP
After many years of clinical research and development, Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson has created a program using tactile interventions
to improve oral phase feeding skills and speech clarity for teens, young adults and the geriatric population. In this one day class,
participants will learn how to diagnose and treat muscle-based deficits for their clients with any of the following diagnoses:
dysarthria, apraxia, post oral cancer surgery, voice disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), post CVA, Parkinson’s disease as well as
Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. The hands-on practicum will include innovative “therapy tools” that can be used by therapists,
patients or caregivers to improve feeding skill levels and improve speech clarity on the conversational level. Muscle skills can improve
at any age and this class will add both new and exciting activities to your therapy repertoire. Come, learn, have fun and enjoy the
success! Before and after videos will demonstrate the effectiveness of Oral Placement Therapy.

ROBYN MERKEL-WALSH, M.A., CCC-SLP
In this much anticipated text, Lori Overland and Robyn Merkel-Walsh
share techniques that they have used to allow for safe, effective, nutritive
feeding for all ages and ability levels. A Sensory Motor Approach to
Feeding walks the clinician through the assessment and treatment of oral
sensory motor skill development as a critical component of addressing
feeding disorders. Readers will learn how to identify a sensory-motor
feeding disorder, complete an assessment and write a professional
report. Lori and Robyn’s goal was to expand on the content of Lori’s live
workshop and provide the practical techniques to clinicians and family
members alike. Color photos and diagrams assist the reader in taking
these methods to practice immediately. This 250+ page color text is a
must have in your clinical library.

APRAXIA PROGRAM
This versatile program, by Renee Roy Hill, is ideal for transitioning
clients with motor-planning deficits from Oral Placement activities to
speech production. The three sets of tools - Bilabial Shapes, Tactile
Tubes, and Speech Blocks - provide tactile cueing for specific sounds
m, p, b, oo, oh, ee, ih, eh, uh and ah, so clients can feel where the
articulators should be during speech production. This program is most
effective for clients who cannot achieve correct production of target
sounds with verbal and visual cues alone or those who do not respond
to verbal and visual cues. Included are videos of each step, along with
written instructions.

manner as the original version, but are constructed of a softer, more pliable material.

ROBYN MERKEL-WALSH, M.A., CCC-SLP AND
SARA ROSENFELD-JOHNSON, M.S., CCC-SLP
Oral Placement TO Speech Kit (OPT-S) by Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Sara
Rosenfeld-Johnson, is an innovative articulation program designed to translate

ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF THE JAW:
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER - SENSORY, FEEDING AND SPEECH
This is the first in a series of programs designed to teach standard speech sound production
using a combination of traditional articulation therapy in conjunction with Oral Placement
Therapy (OPT) activities. It is designed for clients who need auditory, visual, and tactile
information to learn to use standard /s/ and /z/ in all speech environments.
In this program you will learn how to: 1) perform an evaluation with a client who evidences
an inter-dental or a lateral lisp; 2) write a complete Oral Placement/Movement for Feeding and
Speech Evaluation; and 3) create and write a computer generated Report and Program Plan
tailored to address your client’s specific needs. Once this process has been completed, you will
use the 20 lesson plans with associated Homework Sheets and Speech Practice Sheets to assist
you in correcting your client’s inter-dental or lateral productions. Each of the 20 lesson plans
is divided into four sections: 1) Sensory, 2) Feeding, 3) Placement/Movement Activities, and 4)
Speech.
IN THIS DVD YOU WILL SEE SARA ROSENFELD-JOHNSON PERFORM TWO ASSESSMENTS. READ THE REPORTS AND

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR IEPS AND
INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT- CD
By Robyn Merkel-Walsh M.A., CCC-SLP and

Therapists are often unsure of how to set goals that are
educationally relevant or how to produce goals that help with
insurance reimbursement. Robyn Merkel-Walsh has worked in
a public school and a private clinic since 1995. She has spent
a great deal of time writing and re-writing goals and objectives
that are client-centered, yet provide the relationship between
oral placement skills and speech production. Together with Sara
Rosenfeld-Johnson’s expertise on oral placement therapy, Oral
Placement Therapy (OPT) Goals and Objectives for IEPs and
Insurance Reimbursement was created to help therapists write
IEP goals and accurately measure progress in OPT activities used
to improve speech clarity and feeding skill levels. Use this CD to
tailor activities to your client’s specific needs.

As a Parent:
What Can I Do to Improve My Child’s
Feeding Skills and Speech Clarity?
“I decided to make this video to help you, the parent,
learn what you can do at home to improve your child’s
speech clarity and feeding safety. Over the years, I
have found that parents can become great assets to
their child’s speech language pathologist, once they
understand why they are being asked to perform
certain homework assignments with their child. The
exercises shown in this video are presented in a
hierarchy of very small steps which will ensure that
your child will not only make progress but will have fun doing so. This
video is designed to not only show you what you can do to help your
child, but also explains to you why you are being asked to use specifc
straws, horns or bite-tubes. In addition, watching this video will give
you the knowledge you need to become a better advocate for your child,
whether they receive speech therapy through the public school, early
intervention program, clinic, hospital or private practice. Knowledge is a
very powerful tool.”
Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson, M.S., CCC-SLP
Goals of Oral Placement/Feeding/Speech Therapy:
- Increase sensory awareness and normalize tactile sensitivity
- Teach more normal movement patterns
- Achieve differentiation of oral movements
- Enhance feeding skills for better nutritional intake
