Help!! I have a student who puts absolutely everything in his mouth - crayons, markers, grass, mulch, paper towels, etc. How can I redirect him? He has a chewy but won’t use it. He’s 3.

Have you tried chewable jewelry? I have a few students with this issue but they are older so I use chewable pencil toppers and gum with them which helps a lot.

I have used plain baby bibs when students like to chew on their shirts.

Check with your OT -they should have other options for you to help him/her. Out OT had different textured chewys

We use chewys in this situation! It took one of my students a year but now he puts the chewy in his month independently!!

Give him a mask to wear.
