Beckman Tri-Chew - The Triangular Oral Motor Tool
Invented and developed by Debra Beckman, MS, CCC-SLP, the Tri-Chew is a chewy mouthing tool for babies and toddlers. It features ridges, bumps, and swirls on each end to simulate the various textures of food used for chewing. Jaw movement and pressure can be experienced through the varied sizes of the ends which are also small enough to prevent gagging. The textured sides provide sensory input for the lips, gums and tongue. The triangular shape makes it easy for little ones to hold themselves
Technical Information
The Soft option is not advised for aggressive chewing. The recommended age for using a Tri-Chew is 6 months - 2 years old. For children aged over 2 years, an ARK Grabber or ARK Y-Chew is a more appropriate choice
