Ark Probe

Ark's Oral Motor Probe is a versatile tool for oral motor treatment and sensory development. ​Designed by speech-language pathologist Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, its rectangular tip offers three distinct textures—bumpy on one side, striated on the other, and smooth along the edges. These textured surfaces provide varied tactile stimulation allowing for targeted sensory input to the gums, palate, lips, cheeks, and tongue .Therapists use it by applying techniques such as tapping, stroking, and gentle pressure application.
