The right bite program

The Right Bite has been a fun addition to my grandson's eating routine. Using it provides a measured amount of cookie or cracker, rather than having him "shove" the entire piece in his mouth. It is also much cleaner than handling a cookie he has been eating.

I would encourage this for any child, not just special needs, to encourage eating portion-size bites. Unless someone chews through or causes damage to anything else they chew on chews through pencils, chews holes in shirts, etc. XXT is super firm, though, so we don't always recommend getting it right off the bat some people find it uncomfortable chewing on something that firm.

Heads up: Designs that are wider and "beefier" will feel tougher than designs that are more slender in the same toughness level. It's bumpy on one side and striated on the other side for different levels of sensory input the bumpy side provides more input than the striated side. Mini Tip - This is a smaller version of the Probe Tip, designed for smaller mouths about 2. This age recommendation is not a hard-and-fast rule though - we've seen younger kids use the Probe Tip and older individuals use the Mini Tip.

Preefer Tip - This tip attachment is rounded with ridges all along the circumference for when a "rolling" action is desired for a different kind of sensory input. Roll it over the lips, across the tongue, and inside the cheeks.

Fine Tip - This tip narrows down to a fine point, which makes it perfect for pinpointing very specific areas in the mouth. The "extra long" versions are about an inch longer and a little skinnier, to make it easier to reach the back molars.

The textured version has bumps for extra sensory input. Once you bite down on the tip, you get 'rewarded' with a taste of food.
