Ark’s Flat Textured Spoons are an essential tool for feeding therapy, designed to aid individuals with limited lip control and difficulty removing food from a spoon.

Ideal for therapists, parents, and teachers, these spoons help create a positive and effective feeding experience for children and adults alike.

How To Use It
Ark’s Flat Textured Spoons are easy to use and highly effective for feeding therapy:
Select Texture: Use the end with lines for mild sensory input or the end with bumps for more input. Start with the lines and gradually progress to the bumps to increase tactile stimulation.
Position the Spoon: Present the textured side facing up to stimulate the upper lip, or textured side down to stimulate the lower lip and tongue.
Additional Uses: Can also be used as tongue depressors.
Ark’s Flat Textured Spoons work best with puréed foods like yogurt, applesauce, and stage 1 baby foods. The spoons are rigid enough to hold food but still have some flex to accommodate strong bite reflexes.
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. If you are looking for a chew tool, please click here to see all of the options.
