It is a larger version of ARK's original hollow Grabber, with a bigger loop that fits larger hands comfortably and tactile bumps across the surface that add extra sensory feedback while chewing. It gives a safe alternative to chewing sleeves, collars, pencils or nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 5.1 cm (2 inches) of the stem is hollow, so it collapses more than a solid chew and offers less resistance. This makes it a gentler starting point for people with limited jaw strength. The stem can be used to practise biting and chewing, build jaw strength and work the muscles of the mouth. Purees can also be placed inside the tube for functional biting practice at mealtimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives pupils a discreet, appropriate item to chew instead of clothing or classroom equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe large loop is easy to hold and keeps the tool close at hand during lessons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree toughness levels let staff match the tool to each pupil's chewing strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be washed by hand or on the top rack of a dishwasher between uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a calming chewing option during homework, screen time or car journeys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hollow stem can hold purees to support biting practice at mealtimes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from medical-grade elastomer, so it is a safer choice than household objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for larger hands, so it suits older children and adults as well as younger children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany children and young people with SEND or sensory needs seek out oral input to help them settle, focus or manage stress. A dedicated chew tool gives that need a safe, socially acceptable outlet, which can reduce damage to clothing and help learners stay engaged in class and at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy chewing can help\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChewing provides deep pressure input through the jaw, which many people find organising and calming. Hollow chew tools are often used in feeding and oral motor work because they give feedback with less resistance, allowing skills to build gradually before moving to firmer or solid tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing your toughness level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftest (Yellow, ARK Standard):\u003c\/strong\u003e for light chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium (Bright Blue, ARK XT):\u003c\/strong\u003e for moderate chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToughest (Orange, ARK XXT):\u003c\/strong\u003e for avid chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which toughness to choose, our team is happy to help you find the right option.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARK","offers":[{"title":"Softest \/ Yellow","offer_id":58220422300030,"sku":"TA2614-S-YELLOW","price":10.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Bright Blue","offer_id":58220422332798,"sku":"TA2614-M-BBLUE","price":10.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Toughest \/ Orange","offer_id":58220422365566,"sku":"TA2614-T-ORANGE","price":10.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/ark-goshabunga-large-grabber-hollow-textured__84221.1747705725.png?v=1792053959","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/ark-goshabunga-large-grabber-hollow-textured-chew-tool","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
