Oral motor input tools can be helpful for individuals who have a sensory need to chew — for example, chewing, biting on hands, clothing, or other inedible objects. They may also support those learning to chew or feed, increasing oral awareness, assisting with desensitisation around the mouth and face, and contributing to the development of speech skills.
Please note that the oral motor products in this catalogue are not toys. The clasp and cords on the chew necklace is not designed for chewing. Some items contain small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Not recommended for children under 5 years unless advised by a qualified professional.
Chew Strength & Durability
Chewable tools vary in strength and toughness:
-
Softer chews are suitable for individuals who suck or bite and chew lightly.
-
Tougher, firmer chews are designed for those who bite down with more force.
While we source sturdy, high‑quality chew tools, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear and tear is expected due to the nature of their use. Longevity will depend on:
Some users that seek oral sensory input may have a chew that lasts a long time; others with heavy or aggressive chewing needs may go through them quickly.
Safety & Replacement
Chew tools must be replaced as soon as signs of wear appear. Parental or caregiver supervision is essential at all times to ensure safe use.
