My daughter is 3 years old on the spectrum. She has been chewing her tongue for more than a year now and also tries to bite objects like cards or blocks. She has delayed speech too. What's the remedy please? Especially the tongue chewing part
Do you have any suggestions for oral sensory seekers who have limited impulse control? I work with a kiddo who puts everything in his mouth and immediately swallows it. There are activities I'd love to do with him (sensory bins, play doh, bubbles) but his first impulse is to immediately consume whatever it is we're playing with. He would drink bubble water, swallow gum, eat the beans from a sensory bin. Any suggestions?
Have you ruled out a medical condition, such as PICA? Feeding therapy might also be beneficial. Maybe try the Z-vibe to provide oral stimulation without the risk of him swallowing anything! Ideally you can talk about what's safe and un-safe to swallow as well - maybe turn it into a game and have a variety of items that you categorize as safe or un-safe!
@@HarklaFamily Thanks for the advice! The kiddo has a doctor's appointment in a month, so I'll make sure Mom asks them to look into PICA. In the meantime, I'll check out your videos on the Z-vibe and feeding therapy.
