Benefits:
Increase Oral Awareness:
The Z-Grabber® is highly recommended for individuals with hyposensitivities and low oral tone. 
Its gentle vibration can help increase oral awareness and provide much needed proprioceptive input to the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw. 
For sensory-seekers who crave oral stimulation, massaging the gums with the Soft Brush Tip can be particularly helpful.
 

Decrease Oral Sensitivities and Food/Texture Aversions:
The Z-Grabber® is also recommended for hypersensitive individuals. 
In these cases, vibration as well as the various textures/shapes of the tips can help gradually desensitize the mouth and decrease oral aversions and sensory defensiveness.
 

Calm and Soothe:
Vibration can be a very helpful tool for calming and organizing. The Z-Grabber®'s smooth vibration provides gentle sensory feedback to the lips, gums, tongue, jaw, and inside the cheek area. 
This oral input (under supervised use) can help decrease self-biting or chewing on one's hands, shirts, pencils, etc.  While it is mostly used inside the oral cavity, it can also be used outside the mouth on the cheeks, neck, and arms for additional feedback.
 

Why it works:
When just touching the lips, tongue, cheeks, etc. doesn’t provide enough input, simply turn the Z-Grabber® on. 
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.

Please note that by no means does an individual have to use vibration to acquire skills for feeding and articulation.  Some people simply do not like vibration - and that's ok!  

Even without vibration, the Z-Grabber® can still provide a vast range of sensory stimulation.

Q: I just got a Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber®. How do I turn it on?
A: Twist the Switch Tip (the knob end) into the handle *just* until it starts to vibrate. Twisting any further will not increase the vibration (but significant over-tightening may be harmful to the motor.)

Q: Can my child use the Z-Vibe® / Z-Grabber® on their own?
A: ARK’s Z-Vibe® / Z-Grabber® is designed to be used by a therapist and/or parent. Children must not use the tool independently. If the child wants to hold the tool him/herself, we recommend using hand-over-hand assistance.  As a medical device that contains small parts, it must be directly supervised at all times.
 

Q: Is ARK’s Z-Vibe® / Z-Grabber® a toy?
A: No, it is a therapeutic tool intended to be used by a professional therapist (or by parents trained by their therapist). It contains small parts, including a battery, that may pose a choking hazard. Direct adult supervision is required at all times.
 

Q:Can the handle be chewed on?
A: No, the handle should not be chewed on. Chewing on the handle (especially the end where the battery goes in) may damage the device and/or cause internal rust and corrosion.

A: If you just bought your Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber® - no assembly is required (it comes pre-assembled and ready to turn on). Twist the Switch Tip (the knob end) into the handle *just* until it starts to vibrate and you'll be ready to go.
Twisting any further will not increase the vibration, but significant over-tightening (although very hard to do) may be harmful to the motor. If you are replacing the battery, or if all of the parts were removed and you need to get them back in, please see the diagram below:

Q: How long does the battery last for?
A: Each battery lasts for about 24 hours of continuous use. So if you use it a few minutes a day for example, it will last a long time. If it's on for an hour per day, it'll last for about 24 days.

1. Scrubbed with mild soap and water.
2. Put in the dishwasher (no drying cycle or added heat). Please make sure the parts are secured and won’t fall onto the heating element at the bottom of the dishwasher.
3. The tips can also be boiled as long as it is only for a few minutes, and as long as you wait a few hours before using again (so that they can cool to the core not just to the touch).

 

Important:
Please note: this is for cleaning between single-patient use.  Since these products are used orally and/or chewed on, we recommend that each patient have his or her own oral products, much like each person uses his or her own toothbrush.
