ARK’s Button Tips – Available in Two Size Options
For use with any ARK Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber® Handle (available separately)
ARK’s Button Tips are a fun way to work on lip closure and lip strength. These fundamental skills are needed for proper speech and feeding development.
Based on the classic "button pull" lip closure activity used by therapists since the 1970s, ARK's Button Tips offer a safer, professional upgrade of this classic oral motor exercise.
Starting with the largest button that comfortably fits in the individual's mouth, place the "button" inside the lips (in front of the teeth). Ask the individual to close their lips around the button while you pull and do a gentle "tug and pull" motion for resistance. Eventually transition to the smaller diameter buttons as the individual progresses.
Working on lip closure can help to improve feeding skills, drinking skills, saliva control, speech and sound production, and more.
