ARK’s Textured Spoon Tip for Z-Vibe

ARK’s TEXTURED Spoon Tip

For use with any ARK Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber® Handle (available separately)

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

The Spoon Tip is specially designed to support easy feeding and food removal. The size and shape of the spoon bowl is 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 Tip can help "wake up" the mouth, increase awareness, and provide stimulation to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. A useful tool for any sensory mealtime treatment plan, Spoon Tips have helped many therapists and parents get tube-fed children onto their first solid foods.

The gentle bumps on the back of the textured spoon helps transition individuals from puréed to textured foods and provides added tongue stability.
