ARK Guitar Oral Motor Chew
€13.95*
The guitar teether supports chewing by reaching the back molars with a long extension.
The smooth loop makes it easy to hold, while uneven surfaces provide sensory and tactile stimulation. The guitar-like design encourages chewing training and desensitization of the mouth, which is especially helpful for oral defense and transition to solid foods. The item serves as a safe, alternative chew toy that reduces chewing on objects such as hands or pens, trains jaw strength and satisfies the need to chew during tube feeding.
Here you will find exercises for jaw graduation and stability. ARK Guitar is available in 3 color-coded degrees of hardness:
Standard / soft - This is the softest level recommended for light chewing.XT / medium - This is the medium level recommended for moderate chewing. XXT / hard - This is the hardest level, recommended for heavy chewing.The guitar is 13.7cm long and approx. 1.3cm thickAll ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.Medical grade, FDA compliant. NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chewing tools are robust and durable, no chewing tool is indestructible. Wear and tear is to be expected due to the intended use. How long they last usually depends on the amount and intensity of chewing as well as other variables (e.g. jaw strength, stress/anxiety level, whether other sensory strategies are used, etc.). While for some people a chewing tool will last forever, for others with severe/aggressive oral needs it may be used up very quickly. Please supervise the chew at all times, check it regularly and replace it if necessary when it shows signs of wear.

ARK Premium One-Way Valve
€26.95*
ARK's Premium One-Way Valve makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of fluid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup.Because fluid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while consuming more fluids. The valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together.Highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction. Made in the USA out of stainless steel that will not rustAll parts can be boiled in water to ensure sanitary conditions Sold individually Compatible with most regular drinking straws measuring .25" in diameter
Measures just over 2 inches in length Included in the package is an extra (spare) stainless steel ball and washer Not recommended for carbonated beverages Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).
This may vary by brand of thickener, but in general if you're using thickened liquids, "nectar" consistency works fine. "Honey" is a bit harder to suck through the straw, but it does work. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve. CAUTION: Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard; please supervise at all times.

ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite®
From
€13.95*
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 12,7cm across. Each extension measures just over 2,5cm long and about 1cm thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.The yellow, blue and magenta Baby Tetra-Bites are soft and chewy. The turquoise, pink and teal Baby Tetra-Bite is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums.Baby Tetra-Bites are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Tetra-Bites, Grabbers or Y-Chews. Made in the USA by ARK Therapeutic. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools. Please supervise at all times. Regularly inspect the chew and discard at first sign of wear/tear. Not for aggressive chewing.

ARK's Bendy Bite™ Chewy Fidget
€16.95*
ARK's Bendy Bite™ doubles as both a fidget and a chew!Chew it, twist it, bend it. Fold one arm inside the center circle and out the other side for a loop of fidgety fun (note: this works best with the standard and XT levels. It can also be done with the firmer XXT level but is more challenging!).At 8,9cm wide and 0,75cm thick, it's one of the thinnest handheld chews.
Use this oral sensory solution as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.Like all other ARK chews it comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).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"). This is the toughest level.Please note: Because of how thin this chew is, even the XXT level may not be a long lasting option for moderate to avid chewing. For more robust chews, check out the MEGA Brick Stick.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
Recommended for ages 3 years and up. All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: This product is not a toy. Direct supervision required. Recommended for ages 3 years and up. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace at first sign of wear and tear.

ARK's Bite Tube Tip (Textured)
€13.95*
Developed in partnership with Shari Martin, OTR/L, ARK's Bite Tube Tip for the Z-Vibe® is specially designed for targeted, functional biting and chewing practice.It's much like the Bite-n-Chew Tip XL, only with a hollow center for food. Simply fill the tube with soft foods, such as applesauce, yogurt, stage 1 baby foods, etc. Use the Bite Tube Tip to establish the concept of needing to bite and chew to eat food. It's also an excellent way to incorporate real food as you practice the motor planning of eating skills. For individuals with oral defensiveness, start with the smooth tip and gradually progress to the textured one. For individuals who need more proprioceptive input to the mouth, the textured one provides both tactile input and added resistance. For individuals with a weak bite, start with a hollow Bite Tube Tip and progress to a solid Bite-n-Chew Tip (Bite-n-Chew Tip sold separately). Use any of these tips to improve chewing motion and jaw strength. If desired, you can trim the Bite Tube Tip to a shorter length with a pair of scissors. A wonderful addition to any feeding / oral motor therapy toolbox!
