ARK's Grabber® is the original and still
most popular oral motor chew tool. The innovative P shape design
features an easy-to-hold loop, with a long extension for reaching the
back molars. Use it:
- 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 Grabber® comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard (red) - 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) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy.
- Very Firm / XXT (royal blue ) - 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.
