Chewy necklace/bracelet for DS with sensory struggles?

(x-posted)
I need to get DS (5 and in kindy) something to chew on...I used to have some links for places online but I lost them when our hard drive crashed. Can any recommend a site they have used? He has started chewing on his shirt collars at school again...and we need to get him something quick. I caught him gnawing on an eraser of DD's in the car Saturday night. I know someone here has used or uses these for their kiddos. (I think.)

Thanks!

There's a company called Abilitations (Special needs, sensory and therapy equipment from Abilitations - a School Specialty Company.) that offers those as well as lots of other SN items.

My son had the same problem in Kindergarten. I can't tell you how many shirts we went through. I went to Home Depot and bought the tubing that they use in soda machines and cut the tubing into lengths of about 6 inches. I had him chew on those. MUCH cheaper than the chewy tubes that you will find on an sensory websites.
My son is now in first and seems to be doing much better with it. I think the increased structure of 1st grade has been helpful for him.
