ARK’s Flexible Lip Blok® Mouthpiece – Available in Two Colours

ARK's Lip Blok® mouthpieces are a simple yet effective oral motor tool. They naturally exercise the mouth muscles to discourage tongue-thrusting, promote tongue retraction, and correct overall tongue positioning. They also prevent individuals from biting the straw or putting it too far into their mouths. Simply press them into the top of a straw, and drink! Lip Bloks are often recommended by Speech or Occupational Therapists, as part of a program to improve oral motor tone and control (please ask your healthcare professional for advice).

The Flexible Lip Blok measures 3/4" (1.9cm) long. Once the individual becomes accustomed to that length, trim the mouthpiece slightly. Once the individual is comfortable drinking from the new length, trim it slightly again. Repeat this until the mouthpiece measures 1/4" (0.7cm) long. This hierarchy slowly teaches individuals to put less and less of the straw into their mouths. When only 1⁄4” length is inside the mouth, fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth where it is easier to manage and less likely to cause coughing or aspiration. With shorter lengths, you also get a better oral motor workout, as the tongue retracts more, the lips seal better, and the cheeks have more tension.

Flexible Lip Bloks fit into most standard plastic drinking straws (measuring approximately 1/4” (0.7cm) in diameter).

They are not suitable for wide plastic straws or paper straws. They are also not compatible with ARK’s Tubing Straws as they are too flexible. In this case please use a Standard Lip Blok (available separately)

Choice – ONE lip Blok is supplied, in a colour of your choice. Please use the drop-down box.

Straws, cups, and accessories are sold separately

ARK Lip Blok Mouthpieces are made from medical grade materials - Free from BPA, latex, lead, phthalates and PVC

Please note – this product is not a toy and should always be used under adult supervision
