ARK's Grabbers are designed so that children can hold them by themselves. They provide soothing stimulation that satisfies the need to chew while also improving jaw strength. This Grabber is the most rigid ARK Grabber. It is recommended for chewers who like very hard items or have previously chewed through the Grabber XT-green.

This easy-to-chew grabber is designed so that children can hold it by themselves. It provides soothing stimulation that satisfies their need to chew while also improving jaw strength. This Grabber is the softer of the ARK Grabbers. For a more rigid chew choose the Grabber XT-green and for anyone who chews very hard items choose the Grabber XXT-blue.

This vanilla scented Grabber is constructed from the same material as the Grabber XT, making it tougher than the purple Grabber. The sweet scent is calming and relaxing and can also promote acceptance of the tool or provide sensory input for nil by mouth.

ARK's Guitar isn't your ordinary acoustic guitar - it's an "achewstic" guitar! This innovative oral motor chew features a long extension to reach the back molars, a smooth loop that's easy to hold, and bumps and ridges (on the stem) that resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar while also providing sensory input. Like all ARK chews it's made in the USA! And comes in 3 colour-coded toughness levels:

• Soft (red or dark blue) - recommended for mild chewing. These are the softest ones with the most "squishiness" and "give" to them.
• Medium Firm / XT (lime green or teal) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy
• Super Firm / XXT (royal blue, forest green, or orange) - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough," recommended for more avid chewing. These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw. No chew tool is indestructible, but these are very tough

4 different textured extensions to chew on,ARK's Tetra-Bite® packs a lot of features into one cool chew tool. With 4 differently textured extensions to chew on, you'll never get bored. Rotate between circular bumps, zigzag bumps, ribs, and lines - a sensory seeker's dream. Each extension is long enough to reach the back molars for proprioceptive input to the jaw and masseter muscle. Not just a chew, the Tetra-Bite® also makes a great hand fidget! Put your pointer finger inside the hole and use your other hand to make it spin on your finger. Or, hold it in both hands by the circular extensions and twist to make it spin. A safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew, and an effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and focus. Like all other ARK chews, it comes colour-coded toughness levels:

ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite™ is designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the early stages of development. At approximately 5-6 months of age, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Tetra-Bite™ provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills. Babies can mouth and explore 4 different "arms" - each with a different texture for lots of varied sensory input. The two rectangular arms have ribs: one with horizontal ribs that wrap around the extension, and one with long ribs that run the length of the extension. The two rectangular arms have bumps: one with mild round bumps, and one with zigzag bumps that provide more input. With all these different shapes and textures, the Tetra-Bite™ helps introduce babies to new sensations orally, which helps prepare them for solid foods later on and also helps decrease and/or prevent oral sensitivities. The Baby Tetra-Bite™ measures just under 5" across. Each extension measures just over 1" long and about .4" thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.

ARK's Guitar isn't your ordinary acoustic guitar - it's an "achewstic" guitar! This innovative oral motor chew features a long extension to reach the back molars, a smooth loop that's easy to hold, and bumps and ridges (on the stem) that resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar while also providing sensory input.

Invented by Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, ARK's Textured Grabber® is a textured version of the popular Grabber® oral motor chew tool. The innovative P shape design has an easy-to-hold loop, with a long extension for reaching the back molars. It also features 3 different surfaces to chew on: one smooth, one with circular bumps, and one with rectangular bumps. These textures simulate the feel of actual food for realistic non-food chewing practice. They also add extra tactile sensation to the lips, cheeks, gums, and tongue to help desensitize the mouth, decrease oral defensiveness/aversions, and transition individuals with sensory issues from puréed to textured foods. The Grabber® can also be used:

• As an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving stimulation and proprioceptive input
• As a safe alternative to chewing on hands, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc.
• As an alternative to tooth-grinding and/or thumb-sucking
• To help decrease oral defensiveness and food aversions
• To practice biting/chewing without the risk of choking
• To work on jaw strength and stability and oral motor skills
• To build oral strength, mobility, and control
• To satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube

Made in the USA, ARK's Brick Bracelet provides a safe, wearable, discreet, and cool solution for those who need to chew. It has a unique 'twist-on' style that makes it very easy to take on and off the wrist as needed for oral motor stimulation throughout the day - a great option for those who can't resist chewing on the clasp/cord of necklaces. It can also be used as a sensory fidget - twist it, bend it, run your fingers over the tactile bumps.

ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end. Use it as a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew. It can also be used as an oral motor tool to work on jaw strength and stability.

The tube-like extension is perfect for individuals who want their chew tool to "collapse" more, whether as a sensory chew and/or in feeding therapy. As an oral motor tool, use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, to build jaw strength and stability, and to exercise the mouth muscles. Put pureed foods inside the tube for functional biting/chewing practice - when the individual bites down, they will be rewarded with a taste of food. The two different diameters allow you to work on varying jaw heights. Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than solid chews like the Grabber, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength.

Like all ARK chews, the Bite Tube is available in 3 colour-coded toughness levels:

Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything) and/or those with limited jaw strength

XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers

XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some chewability to it, but it's fairly pretty firm (although not as firm/tough as our solid chews)

Note: if you are looking for a long lasting chew tool for avid chewing, we recommend solid chews over hollow chews. Check out the Tetra-Bite for example

ARK's MEGA Bite Saber® is very similar to the original and popular Bite Saber® necklace. What's the difference? The MEGA version is much bigger! Wider. Thicker. Longer.

The classic/original Bite Saber® (sold separately) measures about 4" long, .4" in diameter on the blade end, and .5" in diameter on the handle end. The MEGA version sold here measures about 5.8" long, .45" in diameter on the blade end, and .55" in diameter on the handle end. The MEGA Bite Saber has about 2 times the weight/bulk of the original Bite Saber - great for stronger chewers and/or for individuals looking for something larger.

ARK's MEGA Bite Saber® is a handheld chew and does not come on a cord by default, but it does have a hole on one end in case you'd like to add one. Optional breakaway cords can be purchased.

ARK's oro-Navigator™ is an oral motor tool specifically designed to promote lateral tongue movement. Use it to navigate the tongue from side to side to establish the concept of tongue lateralization, or up and down to establish the concept of tongue elevation. Simply place the cuff over the side (or front) of the tongue to guide it.

ARK's Flat Textured Spoons have a very thin profile - perfect for individuals who have limited lip control and/or difficulty removing food from the spoon. Use them to introduce texture to puréed foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc. They're textured on one side and smooth on the other. Present the spoon textured side facing up to stimulate the upper lip, or textured side down to stimulate the lower lip and tongue. Use the end with lines for mild input, or the end with bumps for more input. Or start with the lines and eventually progress to the bumps for increasing tactile input.

ARK's proSpoon™ was specially designed by feeding therapist Debbie Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP to support easy feeding and food removal for young children. The size and shape of the spoon bowl are "just right" - big enough to hold an appropriate amount of food, but small enough to prevent the spoon from being overloaded with too much food. It's a rigid spoon, but it does have slight flexibility to it so that it's gentle on the teeth (in case someone has a bite reflex and bites down on the spoon).

ARK's proBarbell™ Set is a fun and engaging way to work on lip closure and lip strength, fundamental skills needed for proper speech and feeding development. Using tongue depressors with pennies taped on either end has been a DIY oral motor exercise for many years. ARK's proBarbell set offers a fun, high quality upgrade of that oral motor activity - no more small parts or tape to worry about! Each proBarbell™ set includes two tools. The blue barbell has the equivalent weight of 2 pennies on each end, and the green barbell has the equivalent weight of 4 pennies on each end.

The ARK Therapeutic's Bear Bottle features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply squeeze the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release.

Big things come in small packages sometimes! The removable Select-Flow Valve can be barely seen in the bottom of the straw, yet it makes drinking from a straw much easier. Liquid goes up into the straw, but does not flow back down into the cup. In other words, the straw always stays "full" of liquid, so you don't have to draw liquid up the full length of the straw and only a very small amount of suction is required to take a sip.

ARK's Popette Tip is an adaptor for the Z-Vibe® that lets you add vibration to the use of lollipops, Toothettes, and Oral Swabs. Lollipops are a fun, effective, and tasty oral motor therapy tool for oral awareness and lip/tongue exercises. Toothettes and Oral Swabs are spongy therapy tools commonly used during sensory assessments and to provide oral input. Simply press the stem of the lollipop etc into the Popette Tip, twist the Popette Tip into the Z-Vibe® handle (sold separately), and you're ready to go! You can also trim the stem of the Toothette, Oral Swab, or lollipop if need be.

ARK's Brick Tip is the coolest new Z-Vibe® accessory on the block! Its rectangular shape features large bumps on the front side and small bumps on the back side for varying sensory input. The Z-Vibe® (sold separately) is intended to be used as a speech / feeding therapy tool to help teach the concept of biting/chewing skills, to increase oral awareness, to practice oral motor exercises, etc. To that end, most tip attachments for the Z-Vibe® are designed to be fairly small so that therapists can easily get into the mouth. And the chewing tip attachments are designed to be fairly chewy for individuals who have limited jaw strength or oral motor skills. However, some people also use the Z-Vibe® as a calming/chewing tool for individuals with stronger chewing needs, and for that purpose they needed a larger and tougher tip attachment. So ARK's Brick Tip is the solution! It combines the cool-factor shape and durability of ARK's original Brick Stick chew necklace with the vibration of the Z-Vibe®. The Brick Tip is larger than the Probe or Bite-n-Chew Tip, while still being slim enough to reach the back molars.

• Medium Firm (Teal) - this is firm, but still chewy, recommended for moderate chewing
