Chewy Tubes


Chewy Tubes

Holly's fine motor skills are developing so nicely. Here is a short video of her playing with her chewy tube. It is fun to manipulate, and explore, tasty and feels good on hurty gums when teething, but there is one thing that can certainly distract her from this fun tool.

Officially a chew tube is used for Oral Exploration, and helps for those who might have sensory sensitivities, since this is a common Fragile X symptom, we started exposing Holly early to all types of sensory input, to help build up tolerance, so she will hopefully not develop any aversions.
