GRABBER‐EXTRA TOUGH

This green extra tough mouthing therapy tool is constructed of a non‐toxic medical grade, latex FREE material, that is chewy and resilient. Designed for individuals who need to exert lots of pressure, yet need the opportunity for jaw movement, tongue movement, and oral exploration as well. The handle makes it easy for little hands to hold and manipulate.

Material and color are FDA‐approved and made in the USA. Specially designed with no holes or crevices that could harbor bacteria or saliva.Use with adult supervision.

SUPER CHEW

Textured!

The Super Chew has a closed loop handle to facilitate an easy grip

and a textured stem for practicing biting and chewing skills for those

who desire more sensory stimulation. Intended for individual use, it

is non-toxic , latex free and lead free. In addition, the Super Chew

does not contain PVC or phthalates and its color is FDA-approved.

Lasts for thousands of chews. However, inspection is recommended

before each use. Replace when signs of wear become visible.

Washable with soap and water.

CHEWY TUBE

Lasts for thousands of chews!

Chewy Tubes® are an innovative oral motor device designed to

provide a resilient, non‐food, chewable surface for practicing biting

and chewing skills. Intended for individual use, Chewy Tubes are

non‐toxic , latex free and lead free. In addition they do not contain

PVC or phthalates and their colors are FDA‐approved.

To use, the long stem (3/8" diameter) is placed laterally in the

mouth, so the user can bite down on the stem. The handle portion

has corrugated ridges to assist with grasping. The yellow Chewy

Tube is used for individuals with a smaller jaw ‐ typically an infant

(9‐ 10 months) or a younger child, or for an individual who cannot open his/her jaw very wide. In

addition, the narrower, yellow Chewy Tube is used initially in treatment with children who are

very defensive about oral tactile stimulation.

Chewy Tubes last for thousands of chews. However, inspection is recommended before each use.

Replace when signs of wear become visible. Washable with soap and water.

CHEWABLE PENCIL TOPPER

Made of clear, non‐toxic, medical grade plastic, it fits tightly onto the end of a pencil but because it is an inch shorter, it is less noticeable.

Custom made to fit on standard pencils (and most pens), just slide it snugly down onto the eraser end of a pencil about 1" and there will be approximately 2" of tubing left (extending from the end of the pencil) to chew on.

CHEWLERY NECKLACE

Using stretchable, non‐toxic Chewlery is a great way to keep kids from chewing on their clothes, while letting them work through their chewing tendencies. Also great for oral‐motor stimulating activities.

Available in bright unisex colors: fire engine red, yellow, orange, emerald green, dark purple, royal blue or white. 6 1/4" or 16 cm diameter. Use with adult supervision.

SENSORY BRUSH

The sensory brush, also known as the "corn brush" is firm and is the preferred brush for the Wilbarger Protocol brushing program. Ideal for clinic or home use. For specific brushing techniques, speak with an occupational therapist.

TANGLER

Great fidget!

It's a toy. It's a puzzle. It's a stress reliever. It's a knot. And it's just the

right size for the palm of your hand. Twist it, turn it, shape it, and swivel

it to quiet the brain, achieve tranquility, and relax. Sections can be

pulled apart, separated, made into smaller "rings" or joined together with

other Tangles for even more tangled fun and to increase finger dexterity.

WEIGHTED/PRESSURE VESTS

If your torn between using a pressure vest or weighted vest,

here's the solution. A weighted pressure vest. Use it with or

without weights depending on the response of your child or

recommendation of your Occupational Therapist. This vest

comes with 2-6 weight pockets built into the front section and 2-

weight pockets built into the back section. (depends on size)

Each vest comes with 4-12 weight packets totaling 1.5 to 6

pounds. The weight packets are removable allowing you to "mix

and match" to achieve the desired amount of weight up to a

maximum for your vest.

Measure your child carefully, around the chest and waist. Use the largest of these

measurements to select the size. Also measure from the top of the shoulder to the hip. If

your child is between sizes, order the larger. There is a lot of flexibility in the fit. Use the

size chart below when ordering.

WIGGLE/BALANCE SEAT

Exercise and balance discs have a dual use. They can be used for sitting to give you the same benefits as sitting on an exercise ball. They are used in exercise to provide an unstable surface, forcing you to use more muscles to remain balanced thus getting a more complete workout.

►Parents and teachers also report great success using them as a "wiggle seat" to help calm children who have a hard time sitting still.

Features:

  • 14" in diameter by 3" high
  • Comes inflated at a level suitable for most uses, so a pump is not included. However, for those who want to add more pressure, we offer an optional low cost Needle Nose Pump, sold separately
  • Made of the same material as a gym ball
  • Available in 10 colors
  • A true alternative to sitting on an exercise ball
  • Popularly used as a "wiggle seat" to help calm children who have a hard time sitting still

  • Can be used on either the smooth or textured surfaces
  • Enhance weight training by standing on two discs
  • Do sit-ups, lunges, deep knee bends, push-ups or leg lifts
