Thank you to everyone who responded to this query.
Several people recommended the Benik.com - they make custom neoprene orthosis for all ages. They seem to have a good selection of pediatric devices but I don't think it will protect the areas I am concerned about. The other solutions offered were:
- custom short opponens orthosis - this is being considered but since he is growing rapidly and they have no insurance I was looking for a less expensive option
- helmet with face guard - I don't think he is at that stage yet
- elbow ROM orthosis - to prevent him from getting his hand to mouth - this will be my next attempt.
Thanks again for the suggestions and Thanks to Paul P. for all his work with the list!
