Help for Sloberers and Lickers

by Janie

I work with special ed children in a Life Skill classroom. We have a young lady in our class who is both deaf and legally blind. She has seem to get out of the stage of vibrating objects, feathers, and other textured things. She has this thing now where she intentionally will slobber (both drool and forcing spit from her mouth without actually spitting).

After she slobbers, she will rub it all over her face and continue to do that on a daily basis. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do to prevent this? We have tried various cremes and lotions on her hands to help prevent her from doing this. We are out of ideas.
