The ARK proSpoon Feeding Therapy Utensil (Smooth) is a single, non-vibratory feeding spoon with a bowl designed to be "just right": big enough to hold an appropriate amount of food, but small enough to prevent the spoon from being overloaded with too much in one go. It is a standalone version of the Spoon Tip, a well-established Z-Vibe attachment used in feeding therapy for over 15 years.
The proSpoon was designed by feeding therapist Debbie Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, to support easy feeding and food removal. It is available in two sizes. The small spoon measures 5.4 inches (13.7cm) long, with a 0.35 inch (0.9cm) diameter handle and a bowl measuring approximately 1.4 x 0.75 inches (3.6 x 1.9cm). This size suits infants and toddlers and works well with puréed foods such as yogurt, apple sauce or stage 1 baby foods. The large spoon measures 6 inches (15.2cm) long, with a 0.4 inch (1cm) diameter handle and a bowl measuring approximately 1.75 x 1 inches (4.4 x 2.5cm). This size suits older children through to adults, though adults may find the bowl a little smaller than a regular spoon.
The spoon is made from medical-grade material and manufactured at ARK's own factory in Columbia, South Carolina, USA, so quality and safety are checked throughout production. This is a therapeutic tool, intended for use by a therapist or caregiver, with direct supervision at all times.
