ARK Therapeutic - ARK Y-Chew® Oral Motor Chew

The ARK Y-Chew® is an oral motor chew tool with 3 extensions to chew on. Each "arm" of the Y shape features a different texture: one smooth, one ribbed, and one with gentle bumps for a varying sensory experience. 

Use ARK's Y-Chew as an oral fidget for sensory seekers who crave chewing, or for anyone who needs to chew for any reason (as a safe alternative to biting your nails or grinding your teeth, as way for individuals fed via g-tube to still be able to chew on something orally, and so forth). The Y-Chew is also a staple oral motor / feeding therapy tool. Use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, or to work on jaw strength and stability, or to help decrease oral sensitivities / food aversions. For individuals with low oral tone / limited jaw strength, start with the soft one and graduate to the harder one to gradually build oral strength. ARK's Y-Chew is a very simple yet versatile tool with many different uses. 

Like all ARK chews, it’s available in 3 colour-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:

Standard - The softest level - recommended for mild chewing, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.

XT / Medium Firm - The middle "Xtra Tough" level is firmer, but still fairly chewy - recommended for moderate chewers. Or, individuals working on building jaw strength can eventually "graduate" from the soft to the XT.

XXT / Very Firm - The “Xtra Xtra Tough” level is very firm and durable - recommended as the longest lasting level for avid chewers. These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw.

The Y-Chew® Oral Motor Chew is an ideal outlet for any need to chew – use it to support stress, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, sensory processing needs, therapy needs, and more.
