First consider why they need chew necklaces with comfortable breakaway lanyards. These individuals have sensory challenges, fidgeting/focusing problems, anxiety or transition issues. The first thing they need is a feels-just-right chewable tool! The chew necklace lanyard must feel good around the neck.
