The ARK SolaBite™ is a sensory chew with loads of character and variety, whether children see a sun, a starfish, or even a ninja star, its five uniquely shaped arms offer a rich and engaging oral sensory experience. Each arm features a different texture (smooth, striated, treaded, ribbed and bumpy), providing a range of feedback to help with focus, self‑regulation and oral motor exploration.
The textures increase in intensity as you move clockwise around the chew, allowing users to choose the level of sensory input they need in the moment, whether that’s calming, stimulating or somewhere in between. The SolaBite™ is ideal for school, home, work or any environment where individuals may need an outlet to chew safely. Available in three colour‑coded toughness levels, there’s an option to suit mild, moderate and strong chewing needs.
Made from medical‑grade elastomer, this durable, safe and easy‑clean chew is trusted by professionals and families alike for supporting sensory processing, emotional regulation and oral motor development.
