TalkTools® Groovy Chewy™ | Oral Sensory Warm-Up & Texture Preparation Tool — TalkTools®

TalkTools® Groovy Chewy™

A textured chew tool for sensory warm-up and graded texture introduction, the Groovy Chewy is suited to clients working through feeding aversion or sensory integration challenges. Its textured surfaces allow therapists to pair specific textures with corresponding food groups, preparing the oral system for acceptance of a wider variety of textures. Recommended for use under therapist guidance as a complement to the bite tube hierarchy for jaw strengthening.

Therapy Goals

  • Provide graded sensory warm-up to the oral cavity before textured food introduction
  • Support acceptance of a variety of textures through systematic oral sensory exposure
  • Address feeding aversion and oral sensory defensiveness through controlled tactile input
  • Provide proprioceptive stimulation for oral sensory-seeking clients who require more input than daily meals can provide
  • Complement bite tube hierarchy exercises as part of a comprehensive oral motor program
  • Varied textured surfaces allow pairing with specific food texture categories for pre-feeding preparation
  • Suited to clients with feeding aversion, sensory integration challenges, or oral sensory-seeking behaviors
  • Can be used for self-presentation by oral sensory seekers requiring additional daily stimulation
  • Easy to clean with mild soap and water
  • Designed to complement structured oral motor programs including the TalkTools bite tube hierarchy
  • Feeding therapists working with clients on texture acceptance and feeding aversion
  • SLPs and OTs implementing oral sensory integration programs
  • Clients with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, or sensory-seeking oral behaviors
  • Children with feeding difficulties related to oral hypersensitivity or limited texture acceptance
  • School-based, clinic, and home therapy settings with therapist guidance
  • 1 x Groovy Chewy

Sensory

I purchased these for my son with autism. He is an oral sensory seeker and frequently chews on his shirt and sucks on his fingers. He loves its shape and promised to use this to fill his sensory needs instead of his hand or shirt. It went great the first day, but he experienced a backslide after that. I was surprised the chews came on the anticipated delivery date since it was so close to the holidays. Definitely loved the timely delivery.

Convenient

My 4-year-old ASD kiddo was constantly chewing on his fingers and his Occupational Therapist suggested a chewie. He LOVES Lego, so we thought we would give this a try. It is perfect! They shipped quickly and came even better than described. We are ordering another one and I highly recommend these!

Exactly what we needed!

I bought this for my son who is struggling with sitting still and focusing in Pre-K. He is an active kid and school is already proving to be a challenge. In school, he has been chewing on his shoe laces, his sleeves, and his lower lip. Our neighbor who has a daughter in his class and carpools with us suggested this product. She is a speech therapist and works with kids with similar issues. When the package came our son was so excited. So far so good.
