Re: Oral-motor idea: Grape scented ARC

[Guest guest]

I'm really glad you posted this - my 3 yr old has verbal apraxia, but he

has a huge chew need. He puts anything and everything in his mouth to

chew and as we all know, that is a no-no -- not safe! So I've been

looking in a couple of sensory catalogs trying to figure out what to

order. I think I've settled on one from Therapro (I think that's the

name - catalog is in another room and I'm too tired to get it since

got up at 4 am AGAIN!). Anyway, please let me know how the chewy

you bought stands up to teeth and jaw action. I may have to get

something rated for pitbulls! He's got quite the bite.

Thanks!

practice his chews! (He got a purple one from his ST but it's not

scented.)

scented ARC smells like Grape Kool-Aid which is a pleasant smell to me!

I remember going to the beach with my family as a child here in Central

FL and even thoughy my mom put ice in the cooler the Kool-Aid was always

a little warm! (Must have been the cheapie styrofoam coolers my dad

always bought that didn't work too good.)

actually taste like grapes you can almost taste it? LOL!
