ARK's Grabber - XT (Teal)

ARK's Grabber XT® is the "Xtra Tough" version of the original Grabber® — firmer and more resilient, recommended for moderate chewers or those who prefer more resistance as they chew.

Invented by Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, the Grabber® features an innovative P-shape with an easy-to-hold loop and a long extension for reaching the back molars. Individuals with a weak jaw can also use this as a progression tool — graduating from the original Soft Grabber to the XT to gradually build jaw strength over time.

How It Can Be Used

• To exercise the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw through oral exploration
• As an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving proprioceptive input
• As a safe alternative to chewing on hands, knuckles, shirts, or pencils
• As an alternative to tooth-grinding or thumb-sucking
• To help decrease oral defensiveness and food aversions
• To practise biting and chewing without the risk of choking
• To build oral strength, mobility, and control
• To satisfy the urge to chew for individuals fed through a g-tube
