For example, there are specially made plastic chew sticks. Some have flavors. In the U.S., at least, the person at the school who may be able to help with this is the occupational therapist. The idea here is to offer a substitute behavior.

We really liked when our schoool started sending home daily "report cards" broken up by time section (early morning, 1st recess, late morning, lunch, etc) We created a positive reward system at home that was fueled by report cards (ie, two days without frowny faces means we get to go to McDonald's on the weekend, all week with no frowny scored him a bouncy house session, etc)
