ARK's Grabber is an oral motor chew tool made out of a soft,chewy, yet resilient material.It's an excellent way to exercise the lips, tongue, cheeks, and especially the jaw,allowing the mouth to learn and grow strong through oral exploration. It 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 build oral strength, mobility, and control
- To satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube
- The Grabber has a""built-in""handle that makes it easy for the hand to hold.
- While all surfaces can be chewed on, the long extension allows individuals to reach the back molar area where we do most of our chewing.
- The Grabber measures 5 inches lengthwise, and just under 2 inches across the loop/handle.
