MTA Chewable Silicone Necklace

Sometimes the most powerful sensory tool is the one worn right around the neck! The MTA Chewable Silicone Necklace is a discreet, wearable chew pendant designed to provide safe, socially acceptable oral sensory input for children who seek it. The smooth, food-grade silicone donut pendant is satisfying to bite and chew, helping children regulate, focus, and stay calm throughout the day — and because it hangs neatly on a cord, it’s always exactly where it’s needed. Whether used to redirect chewing from clothing and pencils, support self-regulation during transitions, or simply provide the oral input a child’s sensory system is asking for, this necklace is a quiet, effective, and child-friendly tool for everyday use.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports oral sensory processing by providing a safe and appropriate outlet for children who seek oral motor input to regulate their sensory system
• Promotes self-regulation and emotional calm by giving children a discreet, always-available tool to help manage anxiety, focus, and sensory overload
• Encourages focus and on-task behaviour, as oral input can support concentration and attention in children with sensory processing differences
• Provides a socially appropriate alternative to chewing on clothing, pencils, or other non-food items, supporting positive participation in classroom settings

Classroom & Support Activity Ideas:

• Introduce as part of an individual sensory diet or regulation toolkit, in consultation with an occupational therapist or support team
• Use during transitions, whole-class activities, or seated work times when a child may need additional sensory input to stay regulated and focused
• Pair with other calming strategies as part of a classroom sensory support plan for children with sensory processing differences or heightened anxiety
• Keep a spare in a child’s bag or tray so it is always accessible across different learning environments throughout the day
