Most people are either auditory or visual learners, but sometimes these senses are not enough and we need to consider the sense of touch. It contains small parts (including a battery) that may pose a choking hazard: direct adult supervision is required at all times.
#Z VIBE ACTIVIITES FOR ORAL MOTOR PROFESSIONAL#
This product is not a toy, it is a therapeutic tool intended to be used by a professional therapist (or by parents/carers trained by their therapist). The Z-Vibe® is lead-, latex-, PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free. Battery and Probe Tip are included. Change the Tips for work on speech and feeding skills, we offer a range of different types.Ĭhoose Royal Blue, or Magenta (code 21308). Size: approx 16.5L x 1cmW The lightweight handle has gentle bumps for a non-slip grip.
This tactile input helps increase oral awareness and tone, decrease oral defensiveness, encourage texture acceptance and improve a variety of speech, feeding and sensory skills. Use the Z-Vibe® to provide input to the lips, tongue, cheeks and jaw. Intended for oral motor exercises and sensory stimulation. Speech Disorders, Dysphagia, Aphasia & Swallowing.Self-Esteem, Positive Thinking & Awareness.
Its gentle vibration provides a new level of tactile awareness for additional sensory feedback, to help “wake up” the mouth, and to draw more acute attention to specific movements of the cheek, jaw, lips, and tongue. When just touching the lips, tongue, cheeks, etc., doesn’t provide enough input, simply turn the Z-Vibe® on. You can also follow up by prompting the individual to say the tongue tip sounds /t/d/n/l/. Then remove the Z-Vibe® and instruct the individual to touch the same spot with his/her tongue tip. For example, use the Z-Vibe® to apply gentle pressure to the alveolar ridge (just behind the upper front teeth). Therapists (and trained caregivers) can use it to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity to teach tongue elevation, tongue lateralization, lip closure, rotary chewing, and much more. The ARK Z-Vibe® is an ideal tool to help you do so.
But when these two senses are not enough, you may need to physically direct the articulators for certain speech and feeding skills. Most of us are either visual or auditory learners.
