ARK Therapeutic Smiley Face Chewelry with Round Chewable Pendant, Adjustable Breakaway Cord for 5+ Children

Started by Speech-Language pathologist, ARK Therapeutic designs and manufactures medical tools used in the oral treatments. For last 18 years, the organization has developed a wide range of products for different purposes including feeding, drinking and chewing. Designed in unique shapes, the products of ARK   Therapeutic keep the patient interested in the treatment. The chewing range of products includes pencil topper chews, brick-stick chewable and prism-shaped chewing pendant. The Smiley Face Chewelry is a round shaped chewable pendant used to increase the sensory stimulation in children.

ARK’s Smiley Face Chew Necklace is sure to put a smile on your face!  The double-sided disc pendant features a big grin smiley on one side (indented) and a cool sunglasses smiley on the other side (raised) for different visual and tactile interest.  At just under 2″ in diameter, it’s a great option for those who prefer chewing with their pre-molars and/or front teeth (for more slender options that reach the back molars, see other ARK chewelry).

Use this oral sensory solution as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.  Like all other ARK chewelry, it’s made in South Carolina, USA and comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:

• Standard – This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
• XT / Medium Firm – This is the middle level, which we call XT (“Xtra Tough”).  It’s firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
• XXT / Very Firm – This is the toughest level, which we call XXT (“Xtra Xtra Tough”).  It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm.  No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.

Features:

• 18 years ago, our Grabber® was the first solution on the market specifically for children who needed a safe alternative to chewing on their hands, clothes, pencils, etc. ARK’s Smiley Face Chew Necklace is the same concept, only shaped into a fun and fashionable design for biting, chewing, and oral motor input.
• The pendant measures approximately 1.9″ in diameter and about .3″ thick.
• The cord measures approximately 36 inches in length. If desired, you can shorten the cord by scooting the thread out of the clasp, retying the knot at a shorter length, and then trimming the excess thread.
• Designed, manufactured, and assembled by ARK in South Carolina, USA
• Highly recommended for individuals who have Autism, sensory needs, anxiety, ADHD, etc.

**Please note:  because of its wider shape, each toughness level of the Smiley Face may feel tougher than the same toughness level in one of our more slender shapes.  So for example, if you like the Krypto-Bite™ in the middle XT level, you may want to “size down” to the soft level in this wider shape.

Choose your option from the menu above.  Each pendant is sold individually with its own breakaway necklace cord.  Additional spare cords (cords only) are available as an optional add-on via the pull-down menu above.  Exact color hues may vary slightly.  The pendant measures approximately 1.9″ in diameter and .3″ thick.

  Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic.  Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.

 Caution: This product is not a toy.  The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing.  Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard – direct supervision required.  Recommended for ages 5 years and up.  Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible.  Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use.  How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.).  While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly.  Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.  For the longest lasting chew tool overall, click here.
