Ark’s Textured Grabber XT-Green

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
