ARK's Y-Chew®: Versatile Oral Motor Chew Tool
The ARK Y-Chew® is an innovative, Y-shaped oral motor chew tool designed to provide a safe, effective, and engaging sensory experience. Its three extensions, each with a unique texture (smooth, ribbed, and bumpy), offer a variety of tactile sensations to meet diverse oral sensory needs.
Key Features:
- Multi-Textured Design: Three unique surfaces for varied sensory input.
- Safe Chewing Alternative: Reduces the risk of chewing on non-food items like fingers, shirts, or pencils.
- Versatile Use: Helps strengthen oral muscles, improve chewing skills, and promote self-regulation.
Toughness Levels:
The Y-Chew® is available in three color-coded toughness options:
- Soft/Standard: The softest option, ideal for mild chewers and beginners learning biting and chewing skills.
- Medium Firm / XT: Firmer and more durable, suitable for moderate chewing needs.
- Very Firm / XXT: The toughest option, designed for avid chewers, with the most resistance for jaw strengthening.
Applications:
- As a safe oral fidget for sensory seekers craving stimulation and proprioceptive input.
- To improve jaw strength, jaw stability, tongue movement, and other feeding skills.
- To decrease habits such as thumb-sucking, tooth-grinding, and finger-biting.
- To practice chewing and biting without the risk of choking.
- To build oral tone, strength, mobility, control, coordination, and endurance.
- To reduce oral sensitivities, defensiveness, and food aversions.
- To satisfy chewing needs for individuals fed through a g-tube.
Specifications:
- Dimensions: Handle is 2½ inches; extensions measure 1¾ and 1¼ inches.
- Material: Medical grade, FDA-compliant, and free of lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, and latex.
- Made in the USA: Designed, manufactured, and assembled by ARK Therapeutic.
Caution:
- This product is not a toy and is recommended for ages 3 and up.
- Always supervise during use.
- Regularly inspect for signs of wear and replace when necessary.
Durability Notice: No chew tool is indestructible. The lifespan of the Y-Chew® depends on the intensity and frequency of use, as well as individual factors such as jaw strength and stress levels. For heavy/aggressive chewers, the XXT version is recommended for maximum durability.
The ARK Y-Chew® is a versatile and effective tool for oral motor development, sensory stimulation, and self-regulation, making it an essential addition to any sensory toolkit.
