ARK Guitar Oral Motor Chew
€13.95*
The guitar teether supports chewing by reaching the back molars with a long extension.
The smooth loop makes it easy to hold, while uneven surfaces provide sensory and tactile stimulation. The guitar-like design encourages chewing training and desensitization of the mouth, which is especially helpful for oral defense and transition to solid foods. The item serves as a safe, alternative chew toy that reduces chewing on objects such as hands or pens, trains jaw strength and satisfies the need to chew during tube feeding.
Here you will find exercises for jaw graduation and stability. ARK Guitar is available in 3 color-coded degrees of hardness:
Standard / soft - This is the softest level recommended for light chewing.XT / medium - This is the medium level recommended for moderate chewing. XXT / hard - This is the hardest level, recommended for heavy chewing.The guitar is 13.7cm long and approx. 1.3cm thickAll ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.Medical grade, FDA compliant. NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chewing tools are robust and durable, no chewing tool is indestructible. Wear and tear is to be expected due to the intended use. How long they last usually depends on the amount and intensity of chewing as well as other variables (e.g. jaw strength, stress/anxiety level, whether other sensory strategies are used, etc.). While for some people a chewing tool will last forever, for others with severe/aggressive oral needs it may be used up very quickly. Please supervise the chew at all times, check it regularly and replace it if necessary when it shows signs of wear.
ARK Premium One-Way Valve
€26.95*
ARK's Premium One-Way Valve makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of fluid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup.Because fluid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while consuming more fluids. The valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together.Highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction. Made in the USA out of stainless steel that will not rustAll parts can be boiled in water to ensure sanitary conditions Sold individually Compatible with most regular drinking straws measuring .25" in diameter
Measures just over 2 inches in length Included in the package is an extra (spare) stainless steel ball and washer Not recommended for carbonated beverages Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).
This may vary by brand of thickener, but in general if you're using thickened liquids, "nectar" consistency works fine. "Honey" is a bit harder to suck through the straw, but it does work. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve. CAUTION: Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard; please supervise at all times.
ARK Twin Tags Chewelry
€22.95*

For sensory oral motor skills and/or as a safe alternative to chewing/biting on fingers, knuckles, shirts, pencils etc.The Twin pendants are available in 3 color-coded toughness levels: Standard / soft - This is the softest level recommended for light chewing. XT / medium - This is the medium level recommended for moderate chewing.XXT / hard - This is the hardest level, recommended for heavy chewing. Recommended from 5 years. The tags consist of 2 chewable “tags” and are sold with a breakaway necklace. The necklace measures approx. 96 cm in length and can be individually shortened. Please note: Due to its thinner shape, this is not the most durable chew necklace for heavy chewers. Not recommended for aggressive chewers. For most people, ARK's Dino-Bite is the longest lasting collar. Each pendant is medical grade, FDA compliant and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex.Each pendant is approximately 2.5cm wide, 5cm high and 0.76cm thick. Highly recommended for people with autism, sensory disorders, anxiety, ADHD, etc. or for people of any age who need to chew. Attention! This product is not a toy. The clasp and collar are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - direct supervision required.

While for some people a chewing tool lasts forever, for others with severe/aggressive oral needs it can be used up very quickly.

ARK's Baby Grabber®
€12.95*
ARK's Baby Grabber® (Textured) is just like the Baby Grabber but with added bumps and nubs for extra sensory input. Each Baby Grabber is designed to calm and soothe infants, who are in the early stages of development. At approximately 5-6 months, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Grabber® provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills. It can also assist in self-organization, in the transition from puréed to textured foods, and in soothing sore gums. The Baby Grabber is smooth on one half and textured on the other half for varying sensory input and tactile stimulation to the gums and mouth. For orally sensitive little ones - start by presenting the smooth half and eventually progress to the textured half.
Measures approximately 11,2cm in length and just under 6,4cm inches across the loop. The light blue, yellow, and pink Baby Grabbers are soft and chewy. The turquoise Baby Grabber is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums. Baby Grabbers are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Grabber or Y-Chew.Exact color hues may vary slightly. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible.

ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite®
From
€13.95*
ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite® is designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the early stages of development.At approximately 5-6 months of age, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Tetra-Bite™ provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills.Babies can mouth and explore 4 different "arms" - each with a different texture for lots of varied sensory input. The two rectangular arms have ribs: one with horizontal ribs that wrap around the extension, and one with long ribs that run the length of the extension. The two rectangular arms have bumps: one with mild round bumps, and one with zigzag bumps that provide more input. With all these different shapes and textures, the Tetra-Bite® helps introduce babies to new sensations orally, which helps prepare them for solid foods later on and also helps decrease and/or prevent oral sensitivities. The Baby Tetra-Bite® measures just under 12,7cm across. Each extension measures just over 2,5cm long and about 1cm thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.The yellow, blue and magenta Baby Tetra-Bites are soft and chewy.

ARK's Bear Bottle Kit
€18.95*
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® 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.Product descriptionMade 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.

Fold one arm inside the center circle and out the other side for a loop of fidgety fun (note: this works best with the standard and XT levels. It can also be done with the firmer XXT level but is more challenging!).At 8,9cm wide and 0,75cm thick, it's one of the thinnest handheld chews.

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"). This is the toughest level.Please note: Because of how thin this chew is, even the XXT level may not be a long lasting option for moderate to avid chewing. For more robust chews, check out the MEGA Brick Stick.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
Recommended for ages 3 years and up. 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.

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.

ARK's Bite Blocks for Jaw Grading & Stability
€24.95*
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 Bite Tube
€13.45*
ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end.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 normal 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.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 adults and/or older kids under adult supervision. These toppers are technically too large to be considered a choking hazard, but they are one of our smallest chews so please use caution and always supervise use. 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.).
