ARK’s Z-Grabber Vibrating Oral Motor Chew Tool Speech Feeding

ARK Therapeutic Z-Grabber Vibrating Oral Motor Tool

ARK’s Z-Grabber offers all of the benefits of the Z-Vibe, with the added bonus of a chewable “Grabber” loop attached to the handle.

The Z-Grabber is a vibratory oral motor tool that helps build oral tone to improve a variety of speech, feeding and sensory skills. Use it to provide a varied sensory experience and/or to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity. Its gentle vibration provides a new level of sensory stimulation to increase oral focus and draws more attention to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. The vibrations can also be very calming, soothing, and organizing.

Features and Benefits of using the Z-Grabber include -

Increases oral awareness and motor skills which are needed to make sounds
Decreases oral sensitivities and feeding aversions by gently introducing texture
The vibration can calm and soothe the user
Teaches biting and chewing skills which can help transition from soft to solid foods
Can help to improve oral defensiveness, such as challenges when brushing teeth
Compatible with a wide range of Z-Vibe Tips (available separately) to support various speech and occupational therapy exercises
