It is similar to ARK's Probe but has a rounded, cylindrical end with long ridges around it, making it suited to a gentle rolling action. It helps children who are sensitive to, or seek out, touch in and around the mouth to build awareness and tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long striations run around the full circumference of the tip, so the proPreefer can be rolled over the lips, across the tongue or along the inside of the cheeks to give steady, even input. The rigid white handle is easy to grip and control, while the yellow tip is softer so it is gentle on the lips, tongue and cheeks. It is lightweight, compact and portable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor early years settings and schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports oral motor programmes set by a speech and language or occupational therapist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling action gives consistent input that is easy for staff to repeat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from infancy upwards, so it can be used across EYFS and beyond.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashes by hand or on the top rack of a dishwasher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps you continue therapy activities between sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tip is gentle on sensitive mouths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight, so it is easy to take to appointments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting SEND and sensory development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome children and young people with SEND or sensory differences find oral touch difficult, or seek extra input. Regular, gentle oral work with a purpose made tool, guided by a therapist, can help build comfort and awareness, which in turn may support feeding and speech development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy rolling oral input can help\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rolling motion gives smooth, rhythmic, predictable input that many children tolerate more easily than stroking or tapping. Ridged textures add clear sensory information, helping to increase awareness of the lips, tongue and cheeks in a calm, controlled way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like help choosing between the proPreefer and other ARK oral motor tools, our team is happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58220393005438,"sku":"TA2622","price":8.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/ark-propreefer-oral-sensory-motor-tool__92140.1745890434.webp?v=1792053761","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/ark-oral-motor-propreefer-rolling-oral-stimulation-tool","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
