{"product_id":"arks-right-bite","title":"ARK Right Bite","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake a bite out of feeding therapy with the Right Bite from Ark Therapeutics! For individuals with feeding difficulties, the ability to visually judge food and take an appropriately sized bite can be challenging. Invented by Jaci Dale, MS, CCC-SLP and developed by ARK Therapeutic, the Right Bite solves this problem by allowing caregivers to present a prescribed, manageable amount of food to the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply slide a cookie, cracker, cucumber slice, something similar into this specialized feeding tool until it protrudes from the semi-circle opening. Then offer it 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARK's Right Bite is recommended for individuals of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in \"food sleeve\" that covers the food, exposing only the \"right\" sized bite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures roughly 4 x 2 inches with a bite opening of 1.4 x .6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFDA compliant - no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher-safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ark Therapeutic Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48662097887509,"sku":"E19684","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4583\/1189\/files\/E19684-01.jpg?v=1767149053","url":"https:\/\/especialneeds.com\/products\/arks-right-bite","provider":"eSpecial Needs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
