Me gusta mucho es muy claro y especifico para cada herramienta, puedo consultarlo cada vez que lo necesito y sin duda encontrare lo que necesito. Lo recomiendo. Tongue Depressor: ajută la examinarea cavității bucale, pentru a lucra la ridicarea limbii medii, a înălțimii spatelui limbii, a închiderii buzelor etc. Poate fi, de asemenea, utilizat pentru a oferi aport senzorial la o suprafață mare a limbii. Mini Tip - This is a smaller version of the Probe Tip, designed for smaller mouths (about 2.5 years and under). This age recommendation is not a hard-and-fast rule though - we've seen younger kids use the Probe Tip and older individuals use the Mini Tip.

Spoon Tip - Great for feeding therapy and mealtimes, these attachments turn the Z-Vibe into a vibrating spoon! The smooth, gentle vibration can help "wake up" the mouth and decrease aversions. The textured version has bumps on the bottom of the spoon bowl to help stimulate the tongue and lower lip, and to help encourage the transition from puréed to more solid foods. The hard Spoon Tip is rigid, like a regular spoon. The soft Spoon Tip is flexible (still firm enough to hold food, but flexible enough to be gentle on the teeth if someone bites down on the spoon. i just started flipping through the book. I am so impressed by the amount of information. It is clear and logical and laid out in a useful format. It didn’t seem like I needed to dig for the information. You can tell a lot of effort was put into the book. While ARK Therapeutic makes many more oral sensory/motor products, I wanted to highlight the Z-Vibe and the Grabbers in this post since they are the staples of many oral motor intervention programs.

Each large tip measures about 3.4 x 1". The spoon bowl specifically measures about 1.75 x 1" (LxW). This size is best for older children and up through adults. Adults may find this spoon a little smaller than regular spoons. Caution: the Z-Vibe is NOT a toy. It is atherapeutic tool intended to be used by a professional therapist (or by parents trained by their therapist). Itcontains small parts (including a battery)that may pose a choking hazard: direct adult supervision is required at all times. Why It Works 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. Popette Tip - This tip attachment is an adaptor that lets you use lollipops with the Z-Vibe. Just twist the Popette Tip into the Z-Vibe handle, then press a lollipop into the Popette Tip. Lollipops are a fun way to get kids interested in sensory oral motor exercises.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. When used with the Pen, Pencil, or Crayon Tips, the Z-Vibe becomes the Tran-Quill® Pen/Pencil/Crayon - an excellent tool for sensory motor needs. The vibration increases focus and attention while working on handwriting, homework, and other writing tasks, but does not affect the actual writing. 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 organizing. Today I have the exciting opportunity to share with you about oral motor and feeding tools from ARK Therapeutic! This was recommended by my son's OT. Before using it, he couldn't even get through a single cleaning at the dentist without gagging. After working with the Z-vibe, he had a visit at the dentist without gagging or fear. He uses it now before tooth brushing and it helps him tolerate the toothbrush. I recommend this product.
