Z vibe reviews how to#
I also go the z-vibe with a helpful book to give strategies on how to use. I am not sure if it would work for all students, but it is worth a try! This chew tool is also great for working on jaw stabilization for certain speech sounds, practice biting and chewing skills and/or for improving mouth muscle strength. This was a great tool to use with this student. It took a few times and magically, I got an /r/! I was super excited because I was dreading months of oral strengthening exercises and placement cues. Then, I had the student try to get their tongue in the correct placement for /r/. I brushed the inside of the back molars and then brushed the sides of the tongue with the y-chew. You could also use the y-chew to help elevate the tongue for /r/ or to help keep the tongue down for /k/. The y-chew has a bumpy edging that I thought would be a good tool to help the kids feel where the tongue needs to touch the back molars. I do have a few students on my caseload that have distorted /r/’s and are not stimuable for a correct production in different words, so I decided to use the y-chew as a tool to help show the students the correct placement for where their tongue should go for the /r/ sound. This year I don’t have any students needing to chew on something, so I had these tucked away for when I would need them. Y-chews are a great tool for kids who need something to chew on for sensory input. No other compensation was provided for this review. I am excited to share what happened with you all. Today I am here to review and share how I used some products from ARK Therapeutic! They provided me with a couple of tools to try out with my students.
