Chewy Tubes & The Jaw Rehabilitation Program
Chewy Tubes & The Jaw Rehabilitation Program
Chewy Tubes are an innovative oral-motor device designed to provide a resilient, non-food, chewable surface for practicing biting and chewing skills. They are great for providing sensory input to the mouth in preparation for chewing. Made of FDA approved material, they are latex free, lead free and do not contain any PVC.
Chewy Tubes were originally designed to be used with the Jaw Rehabilitation Program, a patented methodology developed by Mary E. Schiavoni, M.S., CCC-SLP, Feeding Consultant and Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Therapist. The program offers a series of goals and objectives designed to develop jaw movements that are fundamental to the development of biting and chewing skills. The 43-page manual describes in detail how to use the Chewy Tubes. The assessment forms cover structure, range of motion, dentition/alignment, function, quality of motion and food texture.
Chewy Tubes are available in two attractive colors: the yellow tube has a smaller stem size for chewing (3/8"D) while the red tube offers a slightly wider stem size (1/2"D). Both are approx. 3" long. If a child cannot close the jaw in response to tactile stimulation, the larger size tube should be introduced first, with a transition to the narrower tube after more consistent and graded jaw closure is demonstrated. If a child demonstrates difficulty opening the jaw, start with the narrower tube and work your way up to the wider one. Chewy Tubes may be washed with soap and water. They are recommended for children 10 months and up.
