ARK’s Basketball Chew Necklace

ARK’s Basketball Chew Necklace is a sensory slam dunk!

This rounded disc pendant measures about 1.75″ in diameter and half an inch at the thickest part (in the center of the pendant) – perfect 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).

Highly recommended for individuals who have Autism, sensory needs, anxiety, ADHD, etc, or for anyone of any age who needs to chew.

 Use this oral sensory solution as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARK’s Basketball comes in 2 color-coded toughness levels:

  • XT (“Xtra Tough”).  Fairly firm but still with some chewiness to it, for mild to moderate chewing
  • XXT (“Xtra Xtra Tough”).  Super firm/tough, recommended for avid chewing and/or for those who like to chew on firm / fairly rigid items

Details:

  • Each pendant is sold individually with its own breakaway necklace cord
  • Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic
  • Each pendant is medical grade, FDA compliant, and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex
  • Each pendant measures approximately 1.75″ in diameter and 1/2″ at the thickest part.
  • 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.
  • Highly recommended for individuals who have Autism, sensory needs, anxiety, ADHD, etc, or for anyone of any age who needs to chew.

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. Not recommended for children under 5 years.  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 and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.
