Product information "ARK's Textured Grabber®"
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
ARK Textured Grabber® comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard (red or magenta) - These are the softest ones with the most “squishiness” and “give” to them. Recommended for mild chewers and/or beginners practicing biting/chewing skills
- Medium Firm / XT (lime green or teal) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy.
- Very Firm / XXT (royal blue or forest green) - 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.
ARK manufactures the Grabber® in the USA! It's medical grade, FDA compliant, and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Measures approximately 13cm lengthwise, just under 5cm across the loop, and 1,3cm thick.
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. Recommended for children 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 if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.Login

Myospots™

Myospots™ – Your Smart Helper for Natural Tongue Posture! 👅✨
🔹 Effective training for a healthy tongue posture!Myospots™ adhere to the palate for up to 45 minutes, making it easier than ever to learn and automate the tongue rest position.Why are Myospots™ so effective?
In the past, people used sticky notes or relied on parents to remind children to keep their tongue in the correct position. With Myospots™, training becomes effortless and intuitive! The spots can be used several times a day to help fully automate tongue posture.
✅ Easy to use – Slightly moisten the palate, press onto the papilla incisiva or any spot on the palate where the Myospot has enough surface to stick properly. Alternatively, it can be placed further back on the palate to engage the back of the tongue.
💡 Tip: To ensure optimal adhesion, the area should be moist. Drink a sip of water before applying the Myospot, press it gently for a few seconds, and let it be surrounded by saliva before the tongue touches it.
✅ Gentle & safe for all ages – Suitable for children from around 3 years old (depending on compliance). For younger children, it is recommended to supervise, as the Myospot can be easily removed in the first few minutes.
