The ARK Guitar Chew is a fun, engaging oral motor tool shaped like a mini guitar – designed to provide safe chewing and sensory input for children and adults with special educational needs. Whether for calming, self-regulation, or building jaw strength, this chew is ideal for individuals with autism, ADHD, oral sensory seeking, or anxiety.

With multiple chewable surfaces – including textured “strings” on the front and a smooth back – the ARK Guitar Chew offers varied tactile input to stimulate oral awareness and help reduce unwanted chewing on fingers, clothing, or pencils. The easy-to-grasp body and extended neck make it perfect for reaching the molars, where chewing is most beneficial.

Available in different toughness levels (sold separately), this chew tool allows users to find the perfect resistance for their needs. It’s a therapist-trusted resource for sensory diets, oral motor development, and safe chewing at home, in school, or during therapy.

• Fun guitar shape encourages use while promoting safe chewing habits

• Designed by speech and occupational therapists for therapeutic use

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.
Please supervise use at all times and replace the item if it shows signs of wear and tear. We are unable to offer refunds for chews that have been used. Finding the right chew is often a process of trial and error—please contact us for help and advice.
