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

Angeliki is a speech and language therapist, myofunctional therapist, and SI therapist based in Athens, Greece with over 25 years of experience, specializing in Apraxia, speech and language delay, stuttering, feeding therapy, and tongue thrust therapy.  Be sure to check out the video above where she demonstrates how to use these unique tools.    

An excellent addition to any oral motor tool bag!

TO WORK ON TONGUE ELEVATION:
