The Button Pull Exercise Kit helps address saliva control through development of proper lip closure. Use it as a component of your oral-motor exercise program to develop endurance and skill in the orbicularis-oris muscle as a prerequisite for standard speech sound production (bilabials in particular). WARNING! - CHOKING HAZARD Adult Supervision Required To Implement This Program.

ARK's proButton™ Set is a fun and engaging way to work on lip closure and lip strength, fundamental skills needed for proper speech and feeding development.

Speech therapists have been doing a "button pull" lip closure activity with their clients since the 1970s by tying string through buttons. ARK's proButton set offers a safer, professional upgrade of that classic oral motor exercise - no more small parts or thin string to worry about!

Each proButton™ set includes two double-sided handles for a total of four different "button" diameters. The yellow handle has buttons of .5" and .6" in diameter (labeled 1 and 2, respectively). The teal handle has buttons of .7" and .8" in diameter (labeled 3 and 4, respectively).

Starting with the largest button that comfortably fits in the individual's mouth, place the "button" inside the lips (in front of the teeth). Have the individual close their lips around the button while you pull and do a gentle "tug and pull" motion for resistance. Eventually transition to the smaller diameter buttons as the individual progresses. More detailed instructions are included.

The Bubble Bear, when used as part of the Bubble Hierarchy, can increase abdominal grading, controlled oral airflow, lip rounding, and tongue retraction. Includes 1 Refill.

Set of six firm, reusable bite tubes. When used in a graduated program they teach volitional jaw closure and lip rounding, both of which are prerequisites for straw drinking and speech development. Particularly effective for clients with C.P. or traumatic brain injury. Instructions included.

The highly-functional Jaw Grading Bite Blocks promote symmetrical jaw strength, jaw stability, and work on jaw grading through varying jaw heights. The kit can also be used to teach jaw position and muscle memory for standard speech sound production. Excellent for use with apraxic/dyspraxic clients. Includes two sets of six reusable, durable Bite Blocks and instructions for use.

Some clients may prefer biting into a softer surface as they work their way through the Bite Block hierarchy. These new, softer Bite Blocks are the appropriate choice for them. The Sensory-Friendly Bite Blocks work in exactly the same manner as the original version, but are constructed of a softer, more pliable material. Each package includes the two sets of six Bite Blocks required to complete Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson's Bite Block Hierarchy. Instruction sheet included.

This easy-to-chew grabber is designed so that children can hold it by themselves. It provides soothing stimulation that satisfies their need to chew while also improving jaw strength. This Grabber is the softer of the ARK Grabbers. For a more rigid chew choose the Grabber XT-green and for anyone who chews very hard items choose the Grabber XXT-blue.

This set contains one regular Grabber (purple) and one Grabber XT (green), along with instructions that will help you use them as a hierarchy.

ARK's Grabbers are designed so that children can hold them by themselves. They provide soothing stimulation that satisfies the need to chew while also improving jaw strength.

This green chewy tube has lumps and bumps which the standard chewy tubes do not have designed to give extra sensory input.

This set of 'Bite Tubes' includes one each of the red and yellow Chewy Tubes and purple and green Grabbers. The instructions included with the set detail the means by which these four tools can be used in a hierarchy of increasing difficulty for development of jaw stability.

Made in the USA, ARK's Brick Stick® Textured Chew Necklace provides a safe, wearable, discrete, and cool solution for those who need to chew. Use this "chewelry" as an oral fidget (or even hand fidget) to help calm, soothe, and self-regulate during times of stress, to better focus during homework and other activities, for sensory oral motor input, and/or as a safe alternative to chewing/biting on fingers, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc. The long shape means you can reach all the way to the back molars for adequate chewing, and two different textures are built-in for varied tactile input: large bumps on one side and small bumps on the other.

• XT = Medium (firmer, but still chewy), for mild to moderate chewing

ARK's Tetra-Bite™ packs a lot of features into one cool chew tool. With 4 differently textured extensions to chew on, you'll never get bored. Rotate between circular bumps, zigzag bumps, ribs, and lines - a sensory seeker's dream. Each extension is long enough to reach the back molars for proprioceptive input to the jaw and masseter muscle. Not just a chew, the Tetra-Bite™ also makes a great hand fidget! Put your pointer finger inside the hole and use your other hand to make it spin on your finger. Or, hold it in both hands by the circular extensions and twist to make it spin. Made in the USA, it's a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew, and an effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and focus.

• XT / Medium Firm- It's firm, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.

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 5" across. Each extension measures just over 1" long and about .4" thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.

ARK's Guitar isn't your ordinary acoustic guitar - it's an "achewstic" guitar! This innovative oral motor chew features a long extension to reach the back molars, a smooth loop that's easy to hold, and bumps and ridges (on the stem) that resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar while also providing sensory input. Like all ARK chews it's made in the USA!

• Soft (red or dark blue) - recommended for mild chewing. These are the softest ones with the most "squishiness" and "give" to them.

ARK's Baby Guitar is a fun and functional way for babies and toddlers to mouth, chew, and soothe sore gums. The charming guitar shape is easy for little hands to hold, with a stem to reach the back molar area. The bumps and ridges on the stem resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar, while also providing extra sensory input. ARK's Baby Guitar is just like the regular Guitar, only a tad smaller, with a shorter stem for smaller mouths.

ARK's Y-Chew® is an innovative Y-shaped oral motor chew tool. It has three different extensions to chew on, each with its own texture (smooth, ribbed, and bumpy) for a varied sensory experience.

• Medium Firm / XT - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy.

Made in the USA, ARK's Krypto-Bite® Chewable Gem Necklace provides a safe, wearable, and discrete solution for kids and adults who need to chew. For boys, it's cool-factor Krypto-Bite®. For girls, it's a stylish gem pendant. Either way, it's sure to be a hit! Use this "chewelry" as an oral fidget (or even hand fidget) to help calm, soothe, and self-regulate during times of stress, or to better focus during homework and other activities.

• XXT = Firm, recommended for those who like to chew on firm / fairly rigid items. Recommended for avid chewing.

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. It also features 3 different surfaces to chew on: one smooth, one with circular bumps, and one with rectangular bumps. 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 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

Sara R. Johnson's oral-motor techniques have improved the speech clarity of thousands of clients, even in many cases where traditional therapy alone has failed. This comprehensive guide will help you to implement these speech and language therapy techniques yourself. (228 pages; includes the Oral-Motor Hierarchy Poster, was called Oral-Motor Exercises for Speech Clarity), and is also known as the OPT book.

For therapists implementing the techniques found in Oral-Motor Exercises for Speech Clarity, The HOMEWORK Book puts each exercise on easy-to-follow homework sheets which can be removed and photocopied, then sent home with the client or child for daily practice between therapy sessions.

A Sensory Motor Approach To Feeding is the new book by Lori Overland and Robyn Merkel Walsh.

As They Grow Motor Development From Birth to Six 2nd Edition

This is the first practical guide for speech language pathologists and related health professionals addressing the assessment and treatment of function for tethered oral tissues(TOTs) in infants, children, and adults. In their combined 55-plus years of experience in speech pathology, Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Lori Overland recognized the need to look at TOTs beyond the structural rating scales, and in this comprehensive guide address the task analysis of the skills necessary to improve pre-feeding, feeding and speech in TOTs patients.

The latest book from Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson is a further study of the importance of jaw skills for whole-body sensory organization, feeding safety, and speech clarity. 182 pages. Includes DVD with Sara demonstrating techniques from the book.

Renee Roy Hill and Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson designed this program for clients with C.P., traumatic brain injury or Moebius Syndrome. This multi-sensory approach will teach you activities to develop the skills nesessary to implement an oral-motor/feeding/speech therapy program. Excellent for achieving lip rounding and lip closure. Includes 1 Ice Stick.

For those that already have the necessary tools, the SMILE Manual is available by itself. 104 pages.

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.

Durable, lightweight spoons provide exceptional protection for teeth and gums during feeding. Small bowls help control food intake.

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. 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).

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).

These 'bean bags' are a fun and safe way to benefit clients with tactile-defensive behaviors, as well as those with hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity on the face. The various textures help normalize sensitivity on body and face.

Our on-site tests indicate that the battery included with your Z-Vibe will last for a minimum of 24 hours of continued use (and usually longer). When it is time for a replacement, this is the battery you need. Note that while this battery is similar in size to a standard AAA battery, the two are not identical. Standard AAA batteries will not power the Z-Vibe, and will usually get stuck inside the device (rendering it useless).

Use this tip with smaller clients and the vibration from a DnZ-vibe to give stimulation to the side of the tongue for tongue lateralisation.

Like the standard bite and chew tips only longer.

These are similar to the standard Spoon Tips, but with gentle bumps on the back of the spoon. This texture helps transition children from puréed to textured foods and provides added tongue stability.

ARK's Tongue Depressor Tip makes a great addition to your sensory oral motor toolbox! Use it to examine the oral cavity, mid-tongue elevation, back of tongue elevation, lip closure, etc. It can also be used to provide sensory input to a large surface area of the tongue. Available in either a smooth or textured option.

• The textured Tongue Depressor has a fun Brick-style look with large bumps on the front side and small bumps on the back side for lots of sensory input.

ARK's Button Tips are a fun and engaging way to work on lip closure and lip strength - fundamental skills needed for proper speech and feeding development. They're exactly the same as the proButton set, but fashioned into tip attachments for the DnZ-Vibe® (DnZ-Vibe sold separately).
Speech therapists have been doing a "button pull" lip closure activity with their clients since the 1970s by tying string through buttons. ARK's Button Tip set offers a safer, professional upgrade of that classic oral motor exercise - no more small parts or thin string to worry about!
Caution: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.
