Even without vibration, the Z-Vibe® can still provide a vast range of sensory stimulation. Please note that by no means does an individual have to use vibration to acquire skills for feeding and articulation. Its gentle vibration provides a new level of tactile awareness for additional sensory feedback, to help “wake up” the mouth, and to draw more acute attention to specific movements of the cheek, jaw, lips, and tongue. When just touching the lips, tongue, cheeks, etc., doesn’t provide enough input, simply turn the Z-Vibe® on. You can also follow up by prompting the individual to say the tongue tip sounds /t/d/n/l/. Then remove the Z-Vibe® and instruct the individual to touch the same spot with his/her tongue tip. For example, use the Z-Vibe® to apply gentle pressure to the alveolar ridge (just behind the upper front teeth). Therapists (and trained caregivers) can use it to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity to teach tongue elevation, tongue lateralization, lip closure, rotary chewing, and much more. The ARK Z-Vibe® is an ideal tool to help you do so. But when these two senses are not enough, you may need to physically direct the articulators for certain speech and feeding skills.
