The ARK Grabber® Original is a trusted and widely used oral motor chew tool designed by speech and occupational therapists to support safe chewing, jaw development, and sensory regulation. With its simple yet effective loop handle and smooth surface, it’s ideal for children and adults with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or oral motor delays.

This chew provides proprioceptive input to the jaw and mouth, helping to strengthen oral muscles for speech and feeding therapy while calming anxiety and reducing oral fixation. It’s also an excellent alternative to chewing on fingers, shirts, pencils, or other non-food objects.

Suitable for home, classroom, or therapy use, the ARK Grabber® Original is easy to grip, safe to chew, and available in different firmness levels to match varying sensory and oral motor needs (sold separately).

• Encourages safe chewing and reduces harmful oral habits
• Supports speech, feeding, and sensory integration therapy
• Helps build jaw strength and oral coordination for clearer speech

Caution: This product is not a toy.
Although the Ark chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals particularly those with strong oral sensory needs or who chew aggressively may be able to damage them in a short period of time. The lifespan of each tool depends on a variety of factors, including individual chewing intensity and whether the user is receiving support from an occupational therapist.
