Description
T-shaped oral motor chew tool made from FDA-compliant, medical-grade silicone. Available in three toughness levels (soft, standard, and extra tough) to accommodate different chewing intensities.
Why it helps
The Grabber provides proprioceptive input to the jaw, which is one of the most organizing forms of sensory input. Chewing activates the trigeminal nerve, helping regulate alertness and attention. The T-shape allows access to both front and back molars for full oral motor work.
Pros

- FDA-compliant, latex-free, lead-free
- Easy T-shape grip for small hands
- Affordable and easy to replace
Cons
- Aggressive chewers go through them quickly
- Not as discreet as wearable chew options
