ARK's Z-Vibe® is a vibratory oral motor tool that can help build oral tone and improve a variety of speech, feeding and sensory skills. Use it to provide a varied sensory experience and/or to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity.
Its gentle vibration provides a new level of sensory stimulation to increase oral focus and draw more attention to the lips, tongue, cheeks and jaw. Vibration can also be very calming, soothing and organising.
The Z-Vibe®'s sleek, innovative design features a lightweight, plastic handpiece with gentle bumps around its circumference for a non-slip grip. This texture can also be brushed along the cheeks, arms, hands etc., for additional tactile input. The handle comes with a blue probe tip on one end and a switch tip on the other. Use the Probe Tip for oral motor assessment and development. To turn the unit on, simply twist the Switch Tip at the opposite end of the handle just until the unit starts to vibrate (please do not over-tighten).
Designed with versatility in mind, there are many tip attachments available in various sizes, textures and resistance.
