Ark proPreefer

The Ark Oral Motor proPreefer™ is a specialized tool designed to provide sensory stimulation and tactile input to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums. Its cylindrical design, featuring long striations around the circumference, is ideal for delivering a "rolling action" during oral motor therapy and sensory development exercises. Similar to the therapists' favourite Probe, its design allows for effective oral stimulation and massage by rolling over the lips, across the tongue, and inside the cheek areas.
