nvented by Angeliki Xygka, BSc / MSc, SLP and developed by ARK, the proSqueezer is an oral motor tool specifically designed to facilitate biting skills and lip closure. The V shape provides resistance as you squeeze it - perfect for exercising the jaw and/or lips.

The proSqueezer comes in a set of three difficulty levels: magenta (easiest), yellow (medium), and orange (hardest). Start with the magenta proSqueezer and eventually progress to the yellow and orange ones. The orange one provides the most resistance for increased difficulty.

Ark's proSqueezer datang dalam 3 tahap kesukaran: magenta (paling mudah), kuning (sederhana), dan oren (paling sukar). Yang oren memberikan rintangan paling banyak.

Bermula dengan proSqueezer magenta dan kemudian ke kuning dan oren
