The ARK Grabber® chewy is the original oral motor chew tool. Invented by Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, the P shaped design features a loop that makes it easy to hold, and a long extension that makes it easy to reach the back molars.
Need to chew? Use the Grabber as a safe alternative to chewing on one's hands, shirts, pencils, etc. Need to work on oral motor skills? Use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, build jaw strength and stability, and exercise the mouth muscles. It can also help provide an alternative to tooth grinding or satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube. The Grabber has many different uses! Like all ARK chews, it’s available in 3 color-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:
- Standard: The softest level – recommended for mild chewers who do not chew through anything.
- XT / Medium Firm: The middle "Xtra Tough" level is firmer, but still fairly chewy – recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm: The “Xtra Xtra Tough” level is very firm and durable – recommended as the longest lasting level for avid chewers.
The Grabber® is an ideal outlet for any need to chew – use it to support stress, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, sensory processing needs, therapy needs, and more. It’s also a helpful alternative for common chewing-related habits like tooth grinding, nail biting, stimming, chewing on shirts, pencils, fingers, knuckles, toys, etc., and other oral fixations.
