ARK’s Spoon Tip (Textured, Teal)

Description

ARK’s Spoon Tip attachments turn any Z-Vibe® into the ultimate sensory feeding tool.

The Spoon Tip was specially designed by feeding therapist Debbie Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP to support easy feeding and food removal.  The size and shape of the spoon bowl are “just right” – big enough to hold an appropriate amount of food, but small enough to prevent the spoon from being overloaded with too much food.

When used with the Z-Vibe handle, the Spoon Tips can help “wake up” the mouth, increase awareness, and provide stimulation to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw.  A wonderful tool for any sensory mealtime treatment plan, these Spoon Tips have helped many therapists and parents get tube-fed children on their first solid foods.
