ARK’S
GRABBERS ® ®
& Y-CHEWS
ARK developed the Grabber® as
a safe (and fun!) mouthing device
for chewing and oral exploration,
which is essential for the development
of speech sounds. It is a multi-
functional tool that was specifically
designed as an alternative to chewing
on dangerous and unhealthy non-
food items. The resilient material is
completely solid with no through-holes
or crevices that could harbor bacteria or
saliva. It is easy to clean and dishwasher-
safe. ARK’s Grabbers® are available in a wide
array of sizes, textures, materials, and scents to meet
each individual’s various sensory needs. Recently published is our
Tips & Techniques for the Grabber® Family, an in-depth field guide
with instructions and illustrations on how to use these products.
The information contained in this book is sure to augment your oral
motor treatment plan!

Tri-Chew
Designed by Debra Beckman, MS, CCC-SLP, the Tri-Chew has three
different ends that can be used to simulate the various textures of
food used for chewing: one with ridges, one with bumps, and one
with swirls. Jaw movement and pressure can be experienced through
the varied sizes of the ends, which are also small enough to prevent
gagging. The textured sides provide sensory input for the lips, gums,
and tongue. The soft material may provide comfort and calm a teething
baby. The triangular shape makes it is easy for little ones to hold. The
Tri-Chew XT is the same as the Tri-Chew, but made with the tougher,
Grabber® XT material. It is firmer, but remains chewy and resilient. Not
recommended for aggressive chewing. Each Tri-Chew is constructed of
medical grade materials that are FDA compliant and contain no lead,
phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.

ARK’S
PROBES
ARK’s Probe Family is an ideal set of tools for oral motor treatment
and sensory input. The Probe, ProPreefer, and ProMini are specifically
engineered with a sturdy construction so that the tip will not separate
from the handle! The material of the tip is actually molded through and
over a loop in the handle, thereby ensuring the attachment of the tip.
The tip ends come in a variety of different shapes and textures to meet
each individual’s various sensory needs. Each tool measures at less than
5 inches, just about the size of a pencil.
These products are intended for use only by a professional or a caregiver trained in their use and should be supervised at all times.

Probes & Oral Motor Tools
ARK’s Probe
ARK’s Probe has a rectangular tip that is bumpy on one
side, striated on the other, and smooth along the edges.
These textured surfaces provide tactile input, awareness,

and tongue through stroking and by applying pressure. Each
Probe is constructed of medical grade materials that are
FDA compliant and contain no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA,

ARK’s ProPreefer
ARK’s ProPreefer is similar to the Probe, but with a
different tip end. Its cylindrical shape is specifically
designed for when a ”rolling” action is desired during
oral motor treatment and sensory development. Use it to
stimulate the gums, palate, cheek, and tongue through
stroking and by applying pressure. The long ridges along
its circumference provide tactile input, awareness, and ARK’s Oro-Navigator™

choking. An individual can suck from the straw or can be helped by
“pumping” fluid up the straw with the flexible lid. Use a Lip Blok™ to
discourage biting on the straw or inserting it too far into the mouth.

not affect the actual writing! The chewable “eraser” end is fun to
chew on and can be easily replaced with another tip. The Tran-Quill™
Pen can also be used as a pencil (pencil parts sold separately). Kids
love drawing and writing with both sets, and older individuals will
appreciate the relaxing vibrations while writing or taking notes.
