@sensoryinnovtherapies: Ever wonder why some children use chewy necklaces during therapy? 💚 A chewy necklace, also known as chewelry, is a sensory tool designed to provide oral sensory input for children who have a need to chew. For some children, it can help: 🦷 Provide an appropriate alternative to chewing on clothing, pencils, or other objects. 🧠 Meet oral sensory needs through safe, repetitive chewing. 💚 Support self-regulation by providing calming or organizing sensory input. 🎯 Encourage participation during activities when chewing helps the child feel more comfortable and engaged. Remember, every child has different sensory needs! What works for one child may not work for another. Chewy necklaces should always be selected appropriately and used with supervision. Sometimes, the little tools we use can make a meaningful difference in a child's therapy experience! #PediatricOT #OccupationalTherapy #SensoryProcessing #OralSensoryInput #ChewyNecklace #Chewelry #SensoryTools #SelfRegulation #SensoryInnovationTherapies
