Designed for children aged 3 and upwards and adults, it provides a safe and discreet outlet for the need to chew, helping to support self-regulation, focus, and calm.

The wide, flower-shaped pendant measures approximately 5cm in diameter and 1.3cm thick, and its broader profile means it works well for those who chew with their pre-molars as well as their front teeth. It comes on a 76cm (30 inch) adjustable breakaway cord that releases safely under pressure and can be shortened to suit the wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in three colour-coded toughness levels - Standard (softest, for mild chewers), XT Medium Firm (for moderate chewers), and XXT Very Firm (for avid chewers) - the Flower Chew Necklace can be matched to each individual's chewing intensity. It can be cleaned by handwashing with warm soapy water or by placing on the top rack of a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Works Well in Schools and Classrooms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobust enough for avid chewers:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Flower's wider, thicker profile makes it one of ARK's most durable pendant designs, well suited to pupils whose oral sensory needs are more intense and who may work through lighter chew tools quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscreet and wearable all day:\u003c\/strong\u003e worn as a necklace, it provides continuous access to sensory input without drawing attention or disrupting the flow of lessons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces disruptive oral habits:\u003c\/strong\u003e a dedicated, safe chewing outlet can help reduce chewing on clothing, pencils, and other objects - supporting a calmer learning environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCovers all chewing styles:\u003c\/strong\u003e the wide shape suits both pre-molar and front-teeth chewing, making it versatile across different pupils' preferences without needing multiple products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety-tested and dishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e medical-grade materials and easy cleaning make it a practical choice for schools and settings that recommend or supply sensory tools as part of EHCP or SEN provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Home Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParents and carers will find the Flower Chew Necklace a reliable everyday tool for use at home, during travel, and in other environments where sensory regulation is needed.

For individuals with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or anxiety, a dedicated chew tool can reduce disruptive oral habits and help the person feel calmer and more settled. ARK Therapeutic has been designing and manufacturing sensory tools for over 25 years, drawing on the combined expertise of a speech-language pathologist and a mechanical engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady to Order?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelect your preferred colour and toughness level from the options above.
