FAQ

What does vibration have to do with feeding? 

Vibration is a powerful therapeutic tool that supports oral-motor development, sensory regulation, and preparation for feeding and communication tasks:

• Used before feeding tasks it  increases  oral awareness (lips, tongue, cheeks) especially if the child is dysregulated or hesitant to engage with oral input.

• Supports self-regulation before feeding or communication tasks

• Facilitates postural readiness and body organization

Vibration should be used intentionally and therapeutically for a specific, time-limited purpose:

• Always pair with functional activities (e.g., spoon feeding, straw drinking, vocal play).

• Use a visual timer or verbal countdown (Let’s count to 10 together while you use it, then we’ll stop.)

Important note:

We allow the child to apply the vibration tool themselves to foster self-awareness and regulation. Our  role is to set clear limits on time and context to ensure the tool remains therapeutic, not recreational.
