It provides consistent tactile and proprioceptive input to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) while offering a safe, durable alternative to thumb sucking, pacifier use, and teeth grinding. Firmer than the TalkTools Purple Chewy, it is used when a client has progressed beyond the softer option. For clinical guidance on oral motor chewy programs, see TalkTools OPT courses. Therapy Goals Develop and strengthen biting and chewing skills through repetitive oral motor exercise Build jaw strength, grading, coordination, and range of motion Provide controlled TMJ stimulation for clients who seek oral proprioceptive input Reduce or replace maladaptive oral habits such as thumb sucking, pacifier use, and bruxism Key Benefits Firmer resistance than the TalkTools Purple Chewy, making it suitable for clients who have progressed beyond a softer chew tool Provides consistent, graded sensory input to the jaw and TMJ Safe, portable alternative to thumb sucking and teeth grinding Simple to clean and maintain between therapy sessions Slight natural variance in color and texture is inherent to the manufacturing process and does not affect performance Ideal for: Children and adults receiving Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) or Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) Clients with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or low muscle tone Individuals who engage in thumb sucking, pacifier use, or bruxism Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and occupational therapists (OTs) targeting jaw strengthening School-based, clinical, and home therapy settings What's Included 1 x TalkTools Green Chewy Product Details Color Green Material Food-safe, BPA-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) Dimensions Approximately 3 in. long x 1 in. wide Resistance Firm — firmer version of the TalkTools Purple Chewy Note Due to manufacturing process, slight variance in color and texture is normal Care Instructions Before first use: wash thoroughly with mild soap and warm water; rinse well After each use: clean with mild soap and water; rinse and air dry Do not place in dishwasher or autoclave Do not use harsh abrasives, bleach, or alcohol-based cleaners Inspect before every use; discard at the first sign of cracks, tears, or deterioration Warning: Use with adult supervision at all times.
