Working Well for Our Kiddo's Oral Stimulation Protocols
I purchased these at the recommendation of the fabulous Miss W, who is a good friend and valued member of our son's therapy team. Our little man has a laundry list of diagnoses at this point, and he does a lot of chewing and oral stemming as part of all of that.  So she had recommended these as part of a protocol to increase stimulation to the mouth in a manner that might decrease his desire to chew on everything he touches. (We swab the insides of his cheeks, the top of his palate, and the sides of his tongue...I also provide a firm but gentle press to the bottoms of his front teeth).<br /><br />These arrived without any condition issues, and we haven't had any of them break thus far.  I must confess that because of what we are using them for, I tend to wash them out and reuse each one a few times, as he's the only one we're using them on.  I also must confess because I was having a rather crummy month right after she recommended it, I was not as diligent about it as I should have been ;)  But I've been better in the past week, and you know what?  It does seem to be helping some!  But the rating is based on the lack of condition issues and that they are holding up, not their helpfulness in this area.
