Testimonials

I was thrilled to find your site because I have been searching for a necklace type of Chewy that would help our students to deal with oral motor issues and to help those students who bite themselves redirect their anger or frustration to a more appropriate strategy. All the chewy type necklaces I have found do not look appropriate for students to be wearing. When I saw your necklace I thought finally someone developed something that not only students can chew on but they can also use as a fidget item

We got our chewelry yesterday and Lila wore one to school today! What a difference it made! I was worried that she would be obsessed with it but she only chewed when she needed to. It wasn’t a distraction from her regular activities. And so cute too! It looked like it was made to go with her outfit. : ) – Thank you so much!

Sofia just turned 5 and has a lot of oral sensory needs. We were allowing her to keep her pacifier thinking it was better than her chewing on everything else. She wouldn’t use the chewy tubes her therapist gave her because she had to hold them and she quickly lost them or gave up on them..she loves the necklace because she can just put in and out of her mouth like her beloved “niny” as she called her pacifier and I find she actually uses it all day long

Hi There, Just had to write and tell you a huge THANK YOU! My son Zach was getting into difficulty at school because he always had something in his mouth – erasers, paper etc. We were always telling him “No! Stop fidgeting”. Then I realised that Zach has a sensory need – so our next task was finding a tool to satisfy that need while being socially acceptable at school. That’s when I found Kid’s Companion! I was thrilled! Not only did it satisfy Zach’s sensory need to fidget, but it was something that was still “cool” for a boy to wear. Zach was beyond excited to wear his “fidget” to school and it is making a big difference. Thank you for helping us say “Yes! you can fidget with this!”

Focusing in Math class was rather hard, but the day this 10 year old realized her KC doubled as an eraser, she made quite a stir. No one else had one of those! (we had no idea the KC could erase… we tried, it does! It should be washed before chewing and it won’t last as long, but what innovation!).

This is my autistic daughter Stephanie (Stephy nickname) Alejandra Halabura using her chewy. She chews on books at school, desks grinds her teeth and chews on cords. We must watch her with cords. The Kid Companions are working already. I haven’t had to tell her to stop grinding her teeth because she has been using the chewy. She hasn’t touched the computer cord today. Have a good day

I think it’s great that your company is putting so much effort into creating top notch “chew toys”, for lack of a better term, for children. Ryan will be four and his need to chew and mouth objects, especially when he is stressed or anxious, doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, so I try to keep an eye out for appropriate items whenever possible. The fact that they’re hands-free is nice too – I can’t tell you how many public areas Ryan has dropped/thrown his chewy tube into. *shudder* I’ve thrown it in the dishwasher more times than I can count!

My students in special education have many issues regarding being or looking differently among their peers in and outside of the classroom. Many of the students in the general and special education children have oral sensory issues. The students not being able to chew gum at school confound this issue. As you know these sensory needs morph into other areas: eating, biting, eating paper, etc. Your product has been the best thing I have seen so far. I have a 10th grade student with very severe issues. I will try it with him, if his parents agree. I work with trans-disciplinary teams of professionals in and outside of the public school setting.
