ARK's proButton set is a fun and engaging way to work on lip closure and lip strength, fundamental skills necessary for proper speech and feeding development.
Each proButton pack includes two rigid, double-sided rods for a total of four different "button" diameters. The yellow rod has buttons 1.3 cm and 1.5 cm in diameter (labelled 1 and 2, respectively). The blue rod has buttons 1.8 cm and 2 cm in diameter (labelled 3 and 4, respectively).
Starting with the largest button that fits comfortably in the mouth, place the "button" on the inside of the lips (in front of the teeth). Ask the person to close their lips around the button as you pull and use a gentle 'tug and pull' motion to resist. Eventually move to smaller diameter buttons as the person progresses. More detailed instructions are included.
Working on lip closure can help improve skills in eating, drinking, saliva control, speech sound production, and more.
