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").

Color hues may vary slightly.Each Rainbow measures about 15,3cm wide, 7,6cm tall, 0,5cm thick including the texture, and 0,38cm thick not counting the texture.Please note: because of how thin this chew is, even in XXT this is not a long lasting option for moderate to avid chewing.

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.

Invented by Tina M. Butterfield, MSOT, OTR/L and developed by ARK Therapeutic, the Butter Grip is specially designed to promote proper finger positioning during writing tasks. A proper grip not only encourages fine motor development, but it also improves handwriting legibility. The round shape of the Butter Grip serves as a tactile cue for the fingers to grasp around. The fingers "hug" the grip, and the fingertips rest just below the grip on the pencil. In this position, the Butter Grip opens up the web space, provides support to the finger muscles, and can help decrease hyperextension. Perfect for both left and right-handed individuals for writing and drawing activities, the Butter Grip can be used with standard pencils, crayons, and pens. At a diameter of 2,54cm, this grip is recommended for children and young adults.NO lead,phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexDimensions: approximately 2,54cm in diameterSold in a pack of 2  Caution: the Butter Grip is a small part. Not for children under 3 years.

Can be cleaned in the dishwasher in the top compartment.Recommended for children aged 6 months to 2.5 years.

ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end. Each end also has a different texture - bumps on one end and ribs on the other for lots of sensory input. Use it as a safe alternative for anyone who needs to chew. They 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 puréed 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.Each chew measures about 12,7cm long overall, 1,3cm in diameter on one end, and 1cm in diameter on the other end. It is hollow all the way through the core.Like all ARK chews, the Bite Tube is available in 3 color-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. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Each Bite Tube is sold individually - choose which option you'd like from the pull-down menu above. Exact color hues may vary slightly.Caution: This product is not a toy.

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. It's available in 3 color-coded hardness levels: Standard (Red) - this is the softest / chewiest level, recommended for mild chewingMedium Firm (Teal) - this is firmer, but still with some chewiness to it, recommended for moderate chewing Very Firm (Royal Blue) - this level is the most firm, recommended for individuals who like chewing on fairly rigid itemsPlease note: the Z-Vibe® and all Z-Vibe® accessories including the Brick Tip are therapeutic tools, not toys.

Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, nothing chewable is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long each tip lasts will be 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/when necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear. For the longest lasting chew tool overall, see ARK's Y-Chew XXT.

Please keep it on the solid back end of the pen (as pictured), away from the ink, as ink should not be near the mouth (or near something that will go in the mouth).More details: Each topper is sold individually with its own black ink penThese are also compatible with most #2 pencils (and pens of a similar size that have removable caps)Color hues may vary slightlyEach topper is medical grade, FDA compliant, and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexEach topper measures approximately 5,8cm long and 1,11cm in diameterHighly recommended for individuals who have Autism, sensory needs, anxiety, ADHD, etc, or for anyone of any age who needs to chew. Not recommended for aggressive chewingCaution: This product is not a toy.

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.

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.

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 inputAs 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 aversionsTo practice biting/chewing without the risk of chokingTo work on jaw strength and stability and oral motor skillsTo build oral strength, mobility, and controlTo satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tubeARK 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.

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. The Bite Tube Tip comes in two different versions: smooth (lavender) or textured (blue). 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!Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexMeasures approximately 7,6cm long and just under 1,2cm in diameterThis listing is for the lavender Hard Bite Tube Tip (lavender) - sold individuallyDishwasher-safe To be used with any Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber® (sold separately)Caution: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.

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.Each chew measures about 12,7cm long overall, 1,3cm in diameter on one end, and 1cm in diameter on the other end. It is hollow all the way through the core. Like all ARK chews, the Bite Tube is available in 3 color-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.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Each Bite Tube is sold individually - choose which option you'd like from the pull-down menu above.Exact color hues may vary slightly. Caution: This product is not a toy. 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.

Recommended for mild chewers and/or beginners practicing biting/chewing skillsMedium Firm / XT - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy.Very Firm / XXT - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough," recommended for more avid chewing. These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw.
