From shirt collars to pencil erasers, many children turn to mouthing, chewing, or even biting to meet unmet sensory needs. While these oral sensory-seeking behaviors are common, they can disrupt participation, impact safety, and leave caregivers and educators unsure of how to respond. This 2-hour, intervention-focused course provides occupational therapy practitioners with the tools to address oral sensory seeking in children. Through evidence-based strategies and practical applications, you discover how to guide families and educators in supporting children with safer, more functional ways to meet oral needs, without limiting engagement or learning.
