For speech therapists

The ARK Y-Chew® is an oral motor chew tool with 3 chewing extensions. Each Y-shaped "arm" has a different texture: one smooth, one ribbed, and one with gentle ridges to provide a variety of sensory experiences.

Use the ARK Y-Chew as an oral motor tool for sensory seekers who crave chewing, or anyone who needs to chew for any reason (as a safe alternative to nail biting or teeth grinding, so that people fed through a G-tube can still chew something in their mouth, etc.). The Y-Chew is also a basic oral motor/feeding therapy tool. Use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, or to work on jaw strength and stability, or to help reduce oral sensitivity/reluctance to eat. For individuals with low oral tone/limited jaw strength, start with soft and work your way up to firmer to gradually increase oral strength. The ARK Y-Chew is a very simple yet versatile tool with many different uses. Like all ARK chews, this one is available in 3 color-coded firmness levels to suit all chewing needs:

The Y-Chew® Oral Motorized Chew is ideal for any chewing need – use it to address stress, anxiety, ADHD, autism, sensory processing needs, therapy needs and more. It is also a useful alternative to common chewing habits such as teeth grinding, nail biting, stimulation, chewing on shirts, pencils, fingers, knuckles, toys, etc. and other oral fixations.
