This is a new tool Hayden's speech therapist brought over for us to try. They are called Chewy Tubes. It is our hope that Hayden will put these in his mouth and begin to bite and eventually chew on them. They are a non-food item, so they just may find their way into Hayden's mouth. Each one has a different texture to provide different tactile input. It will be interesting to see if he perfers one over the other. That is, if either one of them gets past his lips. The Chewy Tubes are the perfect size to sneak into his left hand and hope he will hold onto it and bang on that tube with the other. If he has fun with them, he may just forget and put one in his mouth. Let's hope!
