    1 item left

    Do you want to help your child reach their speech and feeding goals? ARK's Jaw Grading and Stability Bite Blocks are the perfect tool to do that! These innovative bite blocks are specially designed to work on jaw development, coordination, strength, and endurance. Each arm has a different texture than the other for various jaw heights needed for improved speech production and chewing:

    • The orange arms are 3.18 mm and 5 mm thick (labelled 1 and 2, respectively)
    • The magenta arms are 7.6 mm and 10 mm thick (labelled 3 and 4, respectively)
    • Teal arms are 12.7 mm and 15 thick (labelled 5 and 6, respectively)

    All these perfectly calibrated thicknesses help facilitate controlled movements of the jaw to specific heights needed for speech and feeding purposes. These block bites come with different resistance levels depending on softness/firmness preference, and each arm also comes with gentle sensory bumps for better grip when biting down. With this combination of features, ARK's Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are simply a must-have for anybody aiming to get their oral motor toolbox up-to-date!

     Why are jaw grading and stability important?

    Because the jaw has to open to different heights to accommodate biting into different foods (crackers vs sandwiches for example). The jaw also needs to adjust when saying “eee” vs “ahhh”.

    How are the Bite Blocks different from Ark’s other oral motor tools?

    The Bite Blocks are great for jaw exercises because they are firm and offer good resistance. However, they’re not 100% rigid to be gentle on the teeth, therefore, the Y-Chew and/or the Grabber are better suited for working on chewing skills being softer.

    This is another product from Ark Therapeutic that delivers impressive results. So don't wait any longer – get ARK's Jaw Grading & Stability Bite Blocks today and help your child improve their oral motor skills.

    Whether you're trying to move your jaw in preparation for a cracker or a sandwich burger, you'll have all the right tools for successful jaw grading exercises - ultimately leading to improved eating habits!
