Product Description
Designed by Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, the ARK Textured Grabber® offers a textured twist on the popular Grabber® oral motor chew tool. Its innovative P-shaped design features an easy-to-hold loop with a long extension for reaching the back molars. But what sets it apart are the three different surfaces to chew on: smooth, circular bumps, and rectangular bumps.
These textures simulate the feel of actual food, providing realistic non-food chewing practice. They also offer extra tactile sensation to the lips, cheeks, gums, and tongue, helping to desensitize the mouth, decrease oral defensiveness/aversions, and transition individuals with sensory issues from puréed to textured foods.
The ARK Textured Grabber® offers a myriad of benefits:
- Acts as an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving stimulation and proprioceptive input
- Provides a safe alternative to chewing on hands, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc.
- Helps decrease oral defensiveness and food aversions
- Facilitates practice biting/chewing without the risk of choking
- Works on jaw strength and stability and oral motor skills
- Builds oral strength, mobility, and control
- Satisfies the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube
Manufactured in the USA, our chew tool is medical grade, FDA compliant, and free from lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. With dimensions of approximately 12.7cm lengthwise, just under 2cm across the loop, and half an inch thick, it's the perfect size for effective oral sensory stimulation.
Please note: While our chew tools are sturdy and durable, they may show signs of wear and tear over time, especially for individuals with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing. Supervision is recommended at all times, and the tool should be replaced if necessary.
