Ark Therapeutic Z-Vibe Oral Stimulator For Speech & Feeding Royal Blue

Product Information

ARK's Tran-Quill® Pen has a smooth, gentle vibration that provides sensory input to the hand without affecting the actual writing/drawing. The vibration, texture, and weight of the handle can help increase focus and concentration, improve rote muscle memory, normalize writing speed, increase hand strength and dexterity, and decrease the grip force. Perfect for homework, note-taking, and more. So XXT is usually best either for people who have chewed through the XT level already, and/or for anyone who already likes chewing on very hard items - things like legos, hard plastic toys, wooden items, etc. ARK's Z-Vibe® is a vibratory oral motor tool that can help build oral tone and 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 draw more attention to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. Vibration can also be very calming, soothing, and organising. I have bought this several times and made the recommendation to my patients and families to use it at home in between therapy sessions. It is great for oral motor use in the therapy room or at home. Yes!

These spoons are sized for children up to the age of roughly 3 years, depending on their mouth size.When using the Z-Vibe or Z-Grabber Handle, twist the switch tip *just* until it starts to vibrate. Any further twisting will not increase the vibration. Significant over-tightening is hard to do, but it may damage the motor and affect the performance of the handle. Bite Tube Tip - These tips are similar to the Bite-n-Chew Tip, but with a hollow center so that you can put puréed foods (applesauce, yogurt, etc.) inside the tip for functional biting & chewing practice. Once you bite down on the tip, you get 'rewarded' with a taste of food.

ARK’s Z-Vibe este un instrument logopedic care ajută la îmbunătățirea problemelor de vorbire, de hrănire, desensibilizare, reducerea hipersalivației, tulburările de masticație și deglutiție. Designed with versatility in mind, there are over 35 tip attachments available in various sizes, textures, and resiliencies. From spoons to toothbrushes to pencils and more, the same handle can shift goals simply by switching out one tip for another. If you’ve been around pediatric occupational therapy or speech therapy for any length of time, then you’ve probably heard of the Z-Vibe. It’s awesome!Bite-n-Chew Tips are round, chewable tips that can be attached to the Z-Vibe to practice — you guessed it — biting and chewing skills. Work on promoting a sustained bite, improving jaw strength and stability, or practicing rhythmic chewing skills with these tips. There are a variety of Bite-n-Chew Tips including three shorter ones (unscented, berry scented, citrus scented) and two extra long ones (smooth, textured). Personally, I like the extra long Bite-n-Chew Tips because they are more versatile than the shorter ones. Bite-n-Chew Tips can also be attached to ARK’s Tran-Quill Pen to provide calming and organizing oral sensory input for kids who are constantly chewing on things, including their pencils…more on that in my next ARK-sponsored post! See a demo of how to use Bite-n-Chew tips in this brief instructional video. Textured Spoon Tip: datorită texturii, poate fi folosită pentru creșterea acceptării mâncărurilor de diferite texturi,pentru stimulare senzoriala, emiterea sunetelor (ex. c,l). ARK also makes a product called the Z-Grabber. Basically, it’s the same as the Z-Vibe but with an added Grabber loop attached to the Z-Vibe handle. The Grabber loop can be used as either a chew tool or a handle so children to assist with holding it during therapy. The Z-Grabber essentially gives you the option of adding vibration to the original Grabber. Very cool! I’m a pediatric therapist and my son always has a resting open mouth. Already seeing a difference with all the things OT is telling to do.
