my 14 year old son has always been very oral, chewing clothing, fingernails, tops of fingers and all the chew jewellery we buy him. The problem is he is such a heavy chewer that he literally shreds all the chew jewellery in around 2-3 weeks. It all ends up in tiny shredded pieces. Can you recommend anything heavier duty for him please?

Have a child 3 years old with a muscular disorder called Nemaline myopathy. She is tube fed and cannot moved unaided. Her sister is 6 years old with the same disorder and at the age of 3 she started to walking. This child is not. Would the Bilibo help to encourage to develop further. I am looking for Toys that will encourage the three year old to move. She hates therapy. She hates the Standing frame. She loves her rocking dinasaur. She hates sitting up unaided even though she has done it. Need to develop ways of encouraging this child. could you please help. Have already spent a lot of money on items.

I'm looking to support my 6 yr grandson with Sensory Processing Disorder and Oppositional Defiance Disorder. As a retired OT I know too much and too little. Not a Paed OT. I'd like information on free standing, suppotive structures for gross motor equipment like climbing rope, rock climbing type of activities. They have a compact garden and no suitable structure on which to hang on the house. Due to distructive behaviour things need to be safe and secure so can't be thrown over the fence! Also are there toy libraries for this type of equipment?
