[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 122365, member: 1233"] Cloth certainly is my 8yo's fave to chew on. But at 12 I think she might get picked on for chewing on a washcloth. AND the school will likely have a fit about it too. It might be worth exploring a candy wholesaler to look for candy in various plastic containers, at least for a while. I know one of my cousins used to chew on some candy liquid in a giant pacifier - ALL the girls in her all-girl school did. The school even SOLD it as a fundraiser int he school store! Do you have an advocate? I think most state dept of ed's offer them for free. Ask on general about who has one and how they found them. I think "educational advocate" and your state should do it in a google search. I do think if your difficult child smacks the gum or does bubbles with it then maybe it would be distracting. And if she left it under desks, etc.... But otherwise I do not know why it would be so tough to allow. Other Occupational Therapist (OT) supply places may have items you could use. Also, if you don't have "The Out of Sync Child Has Fun" you may want it. It has a LOT of activities that provide sensory input for different needs. Also, The out of sync child explains a lot about sensory integration disorder. Both are by carol kranowitz. Hope you can pull the school into line. susie [/QUOTE]
