Description
Overview
This wearable chew pendant is designed to provide oral‑motor sensory input that can help calm, soothe, and support self‑regulation throughout the day. Suitable for both kids and adults, it offers a focused outlet for oral and tactile needs and may assist with concentration during learning, work, or transitions. The pendant can also be used as a hand fidget, with the option of raised “brick” bumps for additional tactile feedback. It serves as a safer alternative to chewing on fingers, knuckles, shirts, pencils, and similar items.
