Questions & Answers

How can I get my hyper 6-year-old to stop putting things in his mouth if I do this? Does he bite on headphone wire when playing (he puts remote on TV, plays with X-Box controller)?

That wouldn't make sense to me. Our feeding therapists have been using this in feeding therapy to help "wake up" my daughter's ARK has a lot of chewable things. You can check the website to see if they have lower costs on chewlery. You can also check to see if they have cheaper ashtrays here.

Is there a storage case included with this?

You cannot just put it in a

Is it safe to wash dishes in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is the only way I wash it. I am ready to use it again after I have finished using it. This is a very expensive set of tools, and I am not comfortable using the dishwasher. Here is my opinion based on my experience. I wish you all the best on this blessed

An airtight plastic bag contained this product. Does ARK use that kind of packaging? If this wasn't returned by another customer, how do I know it hasn't been returned?

It has been at least 8 years since I have purchased this product (as well as many other oral motor products) from this company. It has always been packed the same way. To ensure my child's safety, I always boil the tip or the whole product before he or she uses

It would be great if you got For the quality of the product, this is too expensive. If you can get a battery operated $5 toothbrush, it would stimulate your oral cavity.

Designed with autism and sensory needs in mind
5/5

In order to get my autistic sensory boy to chew, I had to use this device. It's great that it's available. Thanks a lot! He won't be scared by the sound since it's low enough. If I had the option, I would give it a 10 out of 10.

Feeding problems can be resolved with this product
4/5

It is an excellent toy to use when eating. My job as an occupational therapist gives me the opportunity to use this technique for the feeding problems of kids. Kids who don't have such an established sense of taste can benefit from the vibration. I've known babies who enjoyed this and enjoyed using it. My eldest daughter used this since she was 11 years old His favorite part of it was that it was old. It takes them a few times before they get used to it, but most of the time I get positive feedback from them when I do. The pros include This product is versatile - it comes in different sizes and colors In addition, it's versatile in design. You can use it to stimulate their hands or lips with vibrations when they play, apply it extraorally on their cheeks, noses, and of course dip it in food to encourage oral motor development. I love the design of it It is good to see that this model has improved in some ways, such as making the handle more child-safe It should also be made from textured plastic, since some of their counterparts had metal handles that were not good to chew Children who chew on the textured rubber brush with teeth will find it durable and will not lose its shape over time. The following are maintenance tasks This is an easy to clean product - You can take the top off and wash it thoroughly, wipe the handle (but do not immerse it in water as you want the battery compartment to stay dry), and put it back together when Some suggestions/concerns Unless the vibration can be adjusted, it is quite strong and I wish it could be adjusted, as it can put kids off if it is too powerful. I haven't managed to find the battery locally it's a special one, making it difficult to find, and I have only been able to order them online so far if they used conventional AAA batteries, that would.

I tell my son to chew on everything, so I'd like to make sure he gets enough massage around his mouth and gums when using this product

I love this for helping me overcome my fear of dentists! These tools are fantastic
5/5

I can't speak highly enough of them. As a result, my child couldn't get a dental cleaning because he was scared of the dentist. When we tried using an electric toothbrush for building her confidence with dental tools, it was too noisy and scary for her sensory issues, so she refused to use The tool was finally purchased and we gave it to her to see what she thought of it. We practiced having her touch her teeth and count them the first time she used it, and she was able to put it on and in her mouth the first time. I have never failed to be impressed with its quietness, which is much better than an electric toothbrush! It is a wonderful tool and we are thankful to have discovered The dentist just treated her during a dental visit, and she was nice enough to not only allow the dentist to brush her teeth, but to count them, clean them, and add fluoride to them, too! Thank you! There is no way to overestimate the value of this tool.

This is great! I absolutely adore it
5/5

In addition to oral stimulation, we use it for other purposes. I am experiencing Erb's palsy in my baby after he was injured at birth. Hold it in his hand and tell him to When you are an infant you can't do anything. Make sure you chew it well. He uses it to stimulate his nerves in his arm and to make His favorite part of it is definitely the music! As a result, it keeps him occupied and he is more motivated to do his therapy. Now that he has the Z-brush in his hand, we have noticed him moving his arm more Our vibration machine was missing a spring when we received it. I received a response from them the following business day after I emailed them. I was sent a parts replacement kit right away, free of charge, and there was an extra battery included as well. Z-rays are definitely recommended if you don't have them Enjoy your time!.

The price is too high
4/5

As my son is 15 months old and in both feeding and speech therapy, I purchased this for him. concept of this product is great, but the particular zvibe would shut off at random when used. Since I have used zvibe several times before purchasing this one, I am happy with the product experience I have had in therapy. Family's on a budget who cannot afford this product, could get few alternatives. This is OVER PRICED for a product that does not come with many alternatives. In addition, no additional batteries or parts are included.
