Vibration from the Z-Vibe provides increased sensory input and proprioceptive feedback to the hand during writing tasks. The Pen, Pencil, and Crayon Tips can help improve fine motor control.Or it can be used as a traditional tongue scraper. The hole can also be used for tongue elevation and lateralization exercises. Because of its size, it can be used to provide sensory input to a large surface area of the tongue. The Tongue Tip is another tip that can be used to work on oral stimulation, oral motor skills, and hygiene.Both tips can be beneficial for toothbrushing with oral defensiveness. The yellow Brush Tip can be used to transition into using a regular toothbrush. The blue Brush Tip has soft, pliable bristles for gentle gum massage and teeth cleaning. The Brush Tips are to be used to improve oral hygiene and dental care.Simply press the stem of any of these items into the Popette Tip, and you’re set to go. The Popette Tip adds vibration to the use of lollipops, Toothettes, and DentaSwabs during therapy.The reverse sides also have bite blocks of three different thicknesses to work on jaw grading and stability. The Animal Tips are a set of playful “pets” with a variety of shapes and textures for feeding, biting, chewing, coordination of movement, discrimination, oral exploration, sensory input/awareness, and just plain fun.

The XL is also available in a textured version to de-sensitize the mouth and to work on texture acceptance.īite Tube Tips are similar to the Bite-n-Chew Tips, but with a hollow center so that you can put food inside for functional biting and chewing practice.

The Probe Tip is a rectangular tip that has three different surfaces - bumpy, striated, and smooth.Just untwist whatever current tip you're using and twist in any other tip (so the same handle can be used for multiple different goals from feeding therapy to gum massage, jaw grading, tongue lateralization, and much more). Lots of different optional tip attachments are available for these tools for specific uses. Z-Vibe and Z-Grabber offer a vast range of possibilities for tactile learning and oral sensory motor stimulation.
