Product Details

Designed by speech-language pathologist Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, ARK's Oral Motor ProbeT is an excellent tool for oral motor treatment and sensory development. It has a rectangular tip that is bumpy on one side, striated on the other, and smooth along the edges. These textured surfaces provide tactile input, awareness, and sensation. Use it to stimulate the gums, palate, lips, cheek, and tongue by tapping, stroking, and applying gentle pressure. The white handle is rigid for an easy grip. The blue tip is softer with more "give" to be gentle on the lips, tongue, cheeks, and tongue. At less than 5 inches in length, they're super lightweight, compact, and portable. Ideal for oral motor exercises, gum massage, and sensory stimulation whether you're at home, in therapy, or anywhere in between. Use this oral motor tool to stroke, tap, and apply gentle pressure to the lips, tongue, and both inside and outside of the cheeks. For individuals with oral defensiveness, start with the smooth sides first of the Probe, as these provide the least input. When this becomes comfortable, progress to the striated side and eventually to the bumpy side. Recommended for ages 3 years and up (depending on the mouth size). For children under 3 years, we recommend ARK's proMini which has a smaller tip. Specifications: Made from medical-grade materials.
