What Is Sensory Chewelry?
In simple terms, sensory chew toys are hand-held objects made with safe materials, like non-toxic silicone or fabric. Since they are meant to provide sensory stimulation for autistic children, sensory chewelry comes in various textures: some are smooth, while others have ridges.
Many chew toys available on the market are easy to clean. However, keep in mind your child’s preferences; they might love one toy but altogether avoid another. The key is to identify the best toy for them. For example, your child likes to chew on pencils. Find a safe pencil for him to chew on. Both chewy tubes and pencil toppers are excellent choices for kids with autism.
