ARK's proSpoon™ - smooth
Product number:
PROSPOON100SmallTeal
Product information "ARK's proSpoon™ - smooth"
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. As an extra bonus: the back of the spoon bowl has gentle bumps to help transition children from puréed to textured foods. These sensory bumps also stimulate the tongue and lower lip and provide added tongue stability.
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). This flexibility also means that you can bend the spoon slightly to make the handle curved - perfect for individuals who have limited hand dexterity to make self-feeding easier.
- This listing is for 1 proSpoon™.
- Each small spoon measures 13,7cm long. The handle measures 0,9cm in diameter. The spoon bowl specifically measures about 3,5x1,9cm(LxW). This size is best for infants and toddlers and works best with puréed foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc.
- Each large spoon measures 15,3cm long. The handle measures 0,9cm in diameter. The spoon bowl specifically measures about 4,45 x 2,5cm (LxW). This size is best for older children and up through adults. Adults may find this spoon a little smaller than regular spoons.
- Each spoon is sold individually.

Please note: this is not a vibrating spoon. If you're looking for the vibrating spoon, please see ARK's Z-Vibe with the Spoon Tip attachment. Please also note: this is a spoon, not a chew tool.

ARK's Bear Bottle Kit
€17.95*
ARK's Bear Bottle Kit is a fun and friendly way to make drinking easier for beginners and/or children with oral motor difficulties. It's also an excellent way to transition babies straight from bottles to straw drinking - skipping sippy cups altogether! Many speech therapists believe that sippy cups can promote improper tongue positioning and an immature swallowing pattern, while straw drinking can help strengthen the mouth muscles and encourage tongue retraction, cheek tension, lip closure, and proper oral positioning.The 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. Fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink. Highly recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have a weak suck with difficulties generating and maintaining suction.Kit includes: 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap1 Select-Flow Valvestraws - 2 tubing straws1 yellow Lip Blok® (3/4"). These tubing straws are durable alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents kids from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths.Made out of non-toxic, food grade materialsDishwasher-safe Holds 236ml of fluidBottle measures approximately 5cm x 6,3cm x 15,2cmColors may vary Not recommended for carbonated beveragesRecommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).Compatible with most standard 0,63cm diameter straws Lid colors may vary.
ARK's Bite Blocks for Jaw Grading & Stability
€23.95*
ARK’s Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are a great complement to any oral motor tool box. Specially designed to work on jaw grading and stability, each arm has a different thickness to practice various jaw heights:The orange arms are 3mm and 6mm thickThe magenta arms are .7mm and 1cm thick The teal arms are 1,3cm and 1,5cm thick What is jaw grading and stability? Jaw grading is the ability to have controlled movements of the jaw to various jaw heights needed for speech and feeding skills. For example, note the difference in your jaw when saying “eee” vs “ahhh”. Or, imagine biting into a cracker vs a sandwich/burger. Your jaw has to open to different heights to accommodate those different sounds and foods. Jaw stability is the strength, coordination, and endurance needed to do so without the jaw sliding forward and/or sideways. Each Bite Block set comes with instructions including four exercises to help work on these skills. These Bite Blocks are firm for good resistance during jaw exercises, but not 100% rigid to be gentle on the teeth (for softer options to work on chewing skills, see the Grabber and/or Y-Chew). Each arm also has gentle sensory bumps to grip the teeth.medical grade, FDA & CE compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexEach block measures 18,4cm long in total, with each "arm" measuring about 7,4cm long and 1,3cm wide.

ARK's Lip Blok®
€8.95*
ARK's Lip Blok® mouthpieces are simple yet effective oral motor tools. They naturally exercise the mouth muscles to discourage tongue-thrusting, promote tongue retraction, and correct overall tongue positioning. They also prevent individuals from biting the straw or putting it too far into their mouths. Simply press them into the top of a straw, and drink. Lip Bloks come in three different lengths – 1,9cm (yellow), 1,3cm (blue), and 0,6cm (turquoise).The magenta and orange colored Lip Blok is flexible and measures 1.9cm.
For the best results, start with the longest length. Once the individual becomes accustomed to that length, switch to the 1,3cm and then finally to the 0,6cm. This hierarchy slowly teaches individuals to put less and less of the straw into their mouths. When only 0,6cm is inside the mouth, fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth where it is easier to manage and less likely to cause coughing or aspiration. With shorter lengths, you also get a better oral motor workout, as the tongue retracts more, the lips seal better, and the cheeks have more tension. Medical grade, FDA compliantNO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.Sold individuallyCompatible with most regular drinking straws (measuring 0,63cm in diameter)Caution: Use of these products should be supervised at all times.
ARK's MEGA Brick Stick®
€20.95*
MEGA Brick Stick:
Red, Standard
ARK's MEGA Brick Stick® is very similar to ARK's original and popular Brick Stick™ necklace.What's the difference? This MEGA version is much bigger! Wider. Thicker. Longer. The classic/original Brick Stick® (sold separately) measures about 6,4cm long, just over 1,6cm wide, and just under 1,2cm thick.
The MEGA version sold here measures about 15,2cm long, 1,9cm wide, and 1,5cm thick. The MEGA Brick has almost 4 times the weight/bulk of the original Brick - great for stronger chewers and/or for individuals looking for something larger.ARK's MEGA Brick Stick® 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.Made in the USA, this chew tool is a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew, and an effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and focus. It has large bumps on one side and small bumps on the other side for lots of sensory input.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"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.Caution: This product is not a toy. Recommended for children 5 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 if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.
Measures about 6" long, .75" wide, and .6" thick (including the height of the bumps)
