“ARK Therapeutic – Flat Textured Spoons for Feeding Therapy 3pk”

Description

ARKs Flat Textured Spoons were actually first born as Sensory Bookmarks ! But once we made them, we realized theyd make a great feeding therapy spoon, too. These double-sided feeding spoons have a flat profile – perfect for individuals who have limited lip control and/or difficulty removing food from the spoon. Use them to introduce texture to pured foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc. They’re textured on one side and smooth on the other. Present the feeding spoon textured side facing up to stimulate the upper lip, or textured side down to stimulate the lower lip and tongue. Use the end with lines for mild input, or the end with bumps for more input. Or start with the lines and eventually progress to the bumps for increasing tactile input. Proudly designed and made in the USA by ARK Therapeutic Each double-sided spoon measures 6 inches long and .75 wide Sold in a pack of 3 Colors may vary Dishwasher-safe Medical grade, FDA compliant, no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex Works best with pured foods like yogurt, applesauce, stage 1 baby foods, etc. Each spoon is rigid enough to hold food, but still has some flex in case someone has a strong bite reflex (these flat feeding spoons are more rigid than their bookmark cousins). They can also be used as tongue depressors Please note: these are spoons and are NOT meant to be used as a chew tool. They are too rigid and too thin for chewing.
