ARK The Right Bite

The ARK Right Bite™ makes it easier to teach safe, appropriately sized bites—an essential visual tool for feeding therapy and independence.

Simply slide a cookie, cracker, cucumber slice, or the like into the opening until it protrudes from the semi-circle opening. Then offer the Right Bite to the individual and instruct him/her to "take a bite."

Since only a portion of the food is presented at a time, the Right Bite encourages appropriate bite sizes, prevents mouth stuffing, and paces the rate of eating to allow for adequate chewing time. For jaw grading and control, use food items of various thicknesses and practice gauging how far to open the mouth for each food item. No matter what your goal is, the Right Bite eliminates the risk of the therapist/caregiver being bitten during feeding therapy. Furthermore, being presented with a prescribed bite decreases the visual sensory concerns that some individuals may have with large pieces of food. The Right Bite therapy tool is recommended for individuals of all ages. Measures roughly 4 x 2 inches with a bite opening of 1.4 x .6 inches. Dishwasher-safe.
