ARK’s Flat Textured Spoons have a very thin profile - perfect for individuals who have limited lip control and/or difficulty removing food from the spoon.Use them to introduce texture to puréed foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc. They're textured on one side and smooth on the other. Present the spoon textured side facing up to stimulate the upper lip, or textured side down to stimulate the lower lip and tongue.Use the end with lines for mild input, or the end with bumps for more input. Or start with the lines and eventually progress to the bumps for increasing tactile input.Designed and made in the USA by ARK Therapeutic Each spoon measures 15cm long and 2cm wide Sold in a pack of 3Colors may varyDishwasher-safeMedical grade, FDA compliant, no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexWorks best with puréed foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc.Each spoon is rigid enough to hold, but still has some flex in case someone has a strong bite reflex (these spoons are more rigid than their bookmark ‘cousins’) They can also be used as tongue depressors CAUTION: these are spoons and are NOT meant to be used as a chew tool. They are too rigid and too thin for chewing.

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.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.

Take a bite out of feeding therapy with the Right Bite!For individuals with feeding issues, the ability to visually judge food and take an appropriately sized bite can be a difficult task. Invented by Jaci Dale, MS, CCC-SLP and developed by ARK Therapeutic, the Right Bite solves this problem by allowing you to present a prescribed, manageable amount of food to the individual. Simply slide a cookie, cracker, cucumber slice, or the like into the opening until it protrudes from the semi-circle opening. Then offer the Right Bite to the individual and instruct him/her to "take a bite." Since only a portion of the food is presented at a time, the Right Bite encourages appropriate bite sizes, prevents mouth stuffing, and paces the rate of eating to allow for adequate chewing time. For jaw grading and control, use food items of various thicknesses and practice gauging how far to open the mouth for each food item. No matter what your goal is, the Right Bite eliminates the risk of the therapist/caregiver being bitten during feeding therapy. Furthermore, being presented with a prescribed bite decreases the visual sensory concerns that some individuals may have with large pieces of food. Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliantNo lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. The Right Bite is recommended for individuals of all agesMeasures roughly 10 x 5cm with a bite opening of 3,5 x 1,5cmSold individuallyDishwasher-safe

The Maroon Spoon™ is a favorite for many therapists providing feeding therapy. Regular store-bought spoons have bowls that are either too wide or too deep.

Not too shallow, not too deep, with an appropriate width.Perfect for working with children with problems such as poor lip closure, oral hypersensitivity, or tongue thrust.Made in the USAFDA compliant, no latex, lead, BPA, or phthalatesEach spoon measures 14,6cm longThe large spoon measures approximately 3,8cm x 3,2cm (L x W)The small spoon measures approximately 3,2cm x 1,3cm (L x W)Dishwasher-safeNOT recommended for individuals with a bite reflexPrice includes 2 spoons in one size.
