Does chewing on pencils sound familiar? ARK's Flower Chewable Pencil Topper is the perfect solution. It has a flower design with a tactile rib around the petals, with a hollow sleeve to fit over the end of a pencil. Like all other ARK chews, it's available 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. Choose your option from the menu above. Each topper is sold individually. Color hues may vary slightly. Best practice is to use with eraser-less pencils (a free one is included with each topper). Each topper measures approximately 6,3cm tall, 5cm wide, and 1,3cm thick.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 6-7 years and up (the age that children typically start using a standard pencil). 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 Flower Chew Necklace is budding with possibilities! This fun floral shape is a robust chew necklace for anyone who needs to chew. Each pendant measures about 5cm at the widest part and 2,5cm in thickness - a great option for chewing with your front teeth (for more slender options that reach the back molars, click here). Because this is a more robust shape, it's also a good option for tougher chewers. Use it as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.Like all ARK chewelry, it's made in USA and 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). 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.Please note: because it has a more robust shape, each level of the Flower will feel tougher than the same toughness level in one of our more slender shapes. So for example, if you like the Krypto-Bite® in the middle XT level, you may want to "size down" a toughness level and order the Flower in standard. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.Caution: This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - direct supervision required. Recommended for ages 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.).

Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.

ARK’s Sensory Bookmarks pack - a cool tactile hand fidget for home, school, work, or anywhere in between. As a “bookmark,” it discreetly fits in with the rest of your desk items without specifically standing out as a sensory tool. Run your fingertips across 4 different textured sections - small bumps, larger bumps, straight lines, and diagonal lines. The lines have a more mild feel while the bumps have a more pronounced feel for different levels of tactile input. As an added bonus: the bookmarks are soft and flexible - bend them, twist them, roll them, and fidget away!Each bookmark measures 15,3cm long and 1,3cm wide.Sold in a pack of 3Available in different color packsDishwasher-safeMedical grade, FDA compliant, no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexAlthough technically safe to chew on, these are too thin and not meant for chewing - to see all of our chew tools click here P.S. There is also a more rigid version of these here that can be used as feeding therapy spoons!

Similar to the Cip-Kup™, ARK's Sip-Tip® makes drinking easier for individuals who have difficulty generating and maintaining suction. An individual can either suck from the straw themselves, or you can assist by "pumping" the fluid up the straw with the flexible lid. Simply cover the vent hole with your finger and press down several times until the liquid reaches the desired height. The Select-Flow Valve will keep the straw full of fluid, thereby reducing the air ingested and the effort required for each sip (notice the juice staying at the top of the straw in one of the images above). The valve also slows the flow of fluid, which allows for more control over the quantity of fluid taken with each sip and helps to ensure that fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth. Users tend to experience less coughing and choking and consume more fluids while drinking with the Sip-Tip®.When purchased, the valve opening is set for moderate restriction for users who tend to aspirate when taking too much fluid in one swallow. The valve can also be trimmed to increase the flow, further decreasing the effort required to drink. Adjust the flow you need by cutting back the tapered stem of the valve with scissors. The lids snap on securely to the rigid, high-quality tumblers to minimize spillage, and the tumblers have graduated marks on the side to monitor fluid intake.The set includes: 1  tumbler for 236ml, 1 spill-resistant lid, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 10 regular straws, and 1 *free* Lip Blok® (yellow, 1,9cm). The Lip Blok® prevents individuals from biting on the straw or putting the straw too far back into the mouth. This is helpful to prevent gagging on the straw, and it also means fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth where it is easier to orally manage.Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexAll parts are dishwasher-safe and available separately. Holds 236ml of liquid Measures approximately 11,4cm tall with a 5cm diameter at the base and 7,6cm diameter at the topNot recommended for carbonated beveragesRecommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc)Compatible with most standard 0,63cm diameter strawsCaution: Contains small parts. Must be supervised at all times

ARK's Cip-Kup™ makes drinking easier for beginners and/or individuals with oral motor difficulties.It 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 bottle 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. A full straw also reduces the air ingested, and so users experience less coughing and choking while consuming more fluids. Highly recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have difficulties generating and maintaining suction (a weak suck).Kit includes: 1 flexible bottle with a twist-on cap10 standard drinking straws, an 8-inch tubing straw (a reusable, chewable, durable alternative to straws)1 select-flow valve (can be trimmed to increase the flow and further decrease the effort required to drink)one ¾" yellow Lip Blok (discourages biting on the straw or inserting it too far into the mouth).FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexBottle measures approximately 5 x 6,3 x 15,2 cm and holds 236ml Dishwasher-safeNot recommended for carbonated beveragesRecommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).Compatible with most standard 0,63cm diameter straws

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, clear, Lips and Mustache1,3cm: blue0,6cm: petrolFor the best results, start with the longest length. Once the individual becomes accustomed to that length,witch 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)A yellow lip block is already included in the bear bottle, the Sip-Tip® and the Cip Kup set.CAUTION: Use of these products should be supervised at all times.

Invented by Angeliki Xygka, BSc / MSc, SLP and developed by ARK, the Squeezer Tips are oral motor tools specifically designed to facilitate biting skills and lip closure.The V shape provides resistance as you squeeze it - perfect for exercising the jaw and/or lips. They're exactly the same as the proSqueezer set, but fashioned into tip attachments for the Z-Vibe® (Z-Vibe sold separately).The Squeezer Tip is available in three difficulty levels, sold as a set: magenta (easiest),  yellow (medium) and orange (hardest). Start with the yellow Squeezer Tip and eventually progress to the orange one. The orange one provides the most resistance for increased difficulty.Angeliki is a speech and language therapist, myofunctional therapist, and SI therapist based in Athens, Greece with over 25 years of experience, specializing in Apraxia, speech and language delay, stuttering, feeding therapy, and tongue thrust therapy. Be sure to check out the video above where she demonstrates how to use these unique tools.An excellent addition to any oral motor tool bag!Logicana recommends: Use the ProSqueezer™ also as a training device for the tongue by placing the squeezer in the mouth so that the tip of the tongue and the upper incisors touch the squeezer. Make sure the jaw stays open and only the tongue moves upward. You can vary again, either repeat the tongue elevation rhythmically several times in a row or the exercise can also be done statically and the tongue held up.Exercises to work on biting skills:1. Place the proSqueezer in front of the mouth and ask the individual to bite down 5 times using the front teeth. Then bite and hold for up to 5 seconds.2. Place the proSqueezer in between the premolars to one side. Ask the individual to bite down 5 times. Then bite and hold for up to 5 seconds.3. Repeat on the other side of the mouth.Exercise to work on lip closure: 1. Place the proSqueezer in front of the mouth and ask the individual to squeeze the lips closed 5 times (using only the lips, no teeth). 2. Then ask them to squeeze and hold for up to 5 seconds.Caution: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.Product information Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliant No lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latexEach tip measures about 8,4cm in length and 3,3cm at the widest part. Dishwasher-safe (no drying cycle or added heat) To be used with either the Z-Vibe or Z-Grabber handle (sold separately).Patent pendingSold as a Set (magenta, yellow and orange)CAUTION: This therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.
