Panny & Mody Sensory Chew & Topper Packs | NDIS Oral Motor Calming Aid

Support effective sensory regulation and focus with Panny & Mody Sensory Chew and Topper Packs. Classified as low cost assistive technology, these durable silicone aids are specifically designed to assist NDIS participants living with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or anxiety who seek oral sensory input.

For many participants, "stimming" through chewing is a vital coping mechanism for stress and concentration. However, chewing on clothing, pens, or skin can be unsafe and socially isolating. These packs offer a hygienic, discreet, and age-appropriate solution. Available in engaging shapes like Robots, Chewy Saws, Triangles, and functional Pencil Toppers, they provide the necessary tactile and proprioceptive feedback to soothe the nervous system in the classroom, home, or community.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Regulating Nervous System: The resistance provided by the silicone offers "heavy work" for the jaw muscles. This proprioceptive input is scientifically recognized to help lower heart rates and manage sensory overload.

• Improving Concentration: By satisfying the physical need to chew, these tools help filter out sensory distractions, allowing the user to focus better on educational tasks or therapy sessions.

• Safe Replacement Behaviour: Replaces unsafe habits (biting hands, swallowing pen caps, destroying shirt collars) with a non-toxic, purpose-built tool, promoting personal safety and hygiene.

• Versatile Sensory Support: Whether worn as a necklace (Robots, Saws, Triangles) for immediate access or mounted on a pencil (Toppers) for study support, these packs adapt to the participant's daily routine.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Certified Safe: Manufactured from premium food-grade silicone that is free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, cadmium, and lead. Rigorously tested to meet Australian safety standards.

• Breakaway Safety Clasp: Wearable options feature a safety clasp that releases easily under tension, preventing injury and ensuring peace of mind for parents and carers.

• Durable & Resilient: Designed to withstand repetitive chewing, these tools are tough yet gentle on teeth and gums, offering a long-lasting solution compared to standard stationery.

• Engaging Designs: The variety of shapes (Robots, Saws, Triangles) provides visual interest and tactile variety, making them an appealing "fidget" tool that reduces social stigma.

• Easy Maintenance: simple to clean with warm soapy water or in the top rack of a dishwasher, ensuring high hygiene standards are maintained.
