Description

Designed by Debra Beckman, MS, CCC-SLP, the Tri-Chew has ridges, bumps, and swirls on each end to simulate the various textures of food used for chewing.

Jaw movement and pressure can be experienced through the varied sizes of the ends, which are also small enough to prevent gagging. The textured sides provide sensory input for the lips, gums, and tongue. The triangular shape makes it is easy for little ones to hold. They're also a safe alternative to biting on one's fingers, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc. Their texture can also help decrease oral defensiveness, reduce food aversions, and normalize sensitivities (both hypo and hypersensitivities).

SENSES/USES:
• As an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving stimulation and proprioceptive input
• As a safe alternative to chewing on hands, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc.
• As an alternative to tooth-grinding and/or thumb-sucking
• To help decrease oral defensiveness and food aversions
• To practice biting/chewing without the risk of choking
• To build oral strength, mobility, and control
• To satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube
