He is doing well with his reading and writing homework and it is less frustrating for us all.ĪRK chew tools come in 3 color-coded toughness levels: Well, reading and writing caused him anxiety and frustration so I bought this for him to try with the Bite-n-Chew Tip add on. Review: I am a pediatric COTA and recognized the need for oral stimulation for my son when he was anxious. I even tried writing with the pencil, and my handwriting was much better- a great tool, and one that looks cool enough at school that my son is willing to use it.

Since putting this tool into his therapeutic repertoire, he can complete written work more easily and is able to focus on school work because of the oral-motor stimulation the tool provides. My son, who has sensory integration issues, has one Z-Vibe Pencil at school and one at home. Her tutor and teachers say it is the only oral motor pencil solution that has worked well for classroom writing and worksheet tasks. Ordinary pencil toppers do not give enough input and are not sturdy enough as the Z-Vibe Tran-Quill Pencil. She needs the oral motor input to concentrate and focus. The Z-Vibe with Tran-Quill Pencil attachment is a mainstay for my daughter with autism while doing her school work.
