Chewy
Tubes® are offered to children and
adults as a safe and effective tool for practicing biting
and chewing skills. Therapists may select Chewy Tubes®
to use in treatment with individuals who are developing
initial oral motor skills, or rehabilitating the jaw after
surgery, trauma or stroke. Youngsters seeking additional
proprioceptive input into the jaw also enjoy biting on
Chewy Tubes®. Children as young
as nine months of age have enjoyed the tactile input offered
by biting on Chewy Tubes®. Children
with autism require professional supervision when using
Chewy Tubes®.
Chewy
Tubes® are not recommended for use
with children under nine (9) months of age without supervision.
