Graded Bite Blocks (Oral Therapy)

Description:

Support jaw strength, bite control and oral sensory needs with this graduated set of Jaw Exercise and Sensory Chew Sticks. With six different sizes, they can be used for oral sensory input as well as therapist-directed jaw strengthening, stability and oral-motor exercises.

The firm sticks provide a designated option for biting and chewing, making them useful for oral sensory seeking and proprioceptive input, including redirecting chewing from clothing, pens or other objects.

For therapy and rehabilitation, the graduated sizes allow different sticks and positions to be used depending on what you or your child are working on. They may form part of an individual oral-motor programme following stroke or brain injury, or for people with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Down syndrome and other neurological or developmental conditions where jaw strength, stability, bite control or oral-motor skills are being addressed.

Therapeutic use should be based on the individual rather than their diagnosis. Your speech and language therapist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or other appropriately qualified professional can guide which stick, position and exercises are appropriate.
