The Straw Kit is a therapeutic straw-drinking hierarchy designed to 
strengthen the lips, cheeks, and jaw. Each straw level increases 
difficulty, supporting improved suction, swallowing control, and 
articulation skills.

What the Straw Kit Does 
● Encourages strong lip closure, essential for clean speech 
sounds. 

● Improves sucking and swallowing coordination for safer 
drinking habits. 

● Strengthens cheek and lip muscles through graded resistance. 

● Reduces drooling by enhancing oral tone and lip stability.

What’s Included 
● A structured set of straws arranged from easiest to most 
advanced. 

● A step-by-step drinking program for consistent progress. 

How to Use 
1. Start with the easiest straw to establish proper suction. 

2. Practice short sips with full lip closure. 

3. Progress to harder straws as oral strength improves. 

4. Use during feeding therapy or articulation warm-ups.


Care & Safety 
● Wash straws after each use with warm soapy water. 

● Replace any straw that becomes worn or bent. 

● Supervise children during drinking exercises.

Why It’s a Great Oral-Motor Tool 

The Straw Kit offers a structured way to build oral strength, improve 
swallowing skills, and support clearer speech production.
