Each \"arm\" of the Y shape features a different texture: one smooth, one ribbed, and one with gentle bumps for a varying sensory experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse ARK's Y-Chew as an oral fidget for sensory seekers who crave chewing, or for anyone who needs to chew for any reason (as a safe alternative to biting your nails or grinding your teeth, as way for individuals fed via g-tube to still be able to chew on something orally, and so forth). The Y-Chew is also a staple oral motor \/ feeding therapy tool. Use it to practice biting\/chewing skills without the risk of choking, or to work on jaw strength and stability, or to help decrease oral sensitivities \/ food aversions. For individuals with low oral tone \/ limited jaw strength, start with the soft one and graduate to the harder one to gradually build oral strength. ARK's Y-Chew is a very simple yet versatile tool with many different uses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eARK chews, it’s available in 3 colour-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"type-name\"\u003eStandard - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"type-description\"\u003eThe softest level - recommended for mild chewing, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"type-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"type-name\"\u003eXT \/ Medium Firm - \u003c\/strong\u003eThe middle \"Xtra Tough\" level is firmer, but still fairly chewy - recommended for moderate chewers.
