Sizing

Tips for a Correct Fit:

For a good fit, measure each child according to the Sizing Guidelines; never select a size for your patient based on eye-balling the SPIO.

You should be able to place your hand between the child’s body (in the trunk area) and SPIO and feel significant resistance when you pull your hand away from the child’s body.

Approximately an inch of resistance is adequate. More and it’s too loose, less and it’s too tight.

Toughness levels

Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything). 

XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.

XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough").  It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm.  No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.

The Bite Tube Hollow is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end.  Use it as a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew.  Hollow Bite Tubes can also be used as an oral motor tool to work on jaw strength and stability.

The tube-like extension is perfect for individuals who want their chew tool to "collapse" more, whether as a sensory chew and/or in feeding therapy.  

• Use the hollow Bite Tube to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, to build jaw strength and stability, and to exercise the mouth muscles.  
• Put puréed foods inside the hollow tube for functional biting/chewing practice - when the individual bites down, they will be rewarded with a taste of food.  
• The two different diameters allow you to work on varying jaw heights.  Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than solid chews like the Grabber, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength. 
• Always replace chews at first sign of wear
• Made in USA

This item is non-returnable.

Benefits

• Improves the movement and coordination of the oral-motor muscles

Needs Fulfilled

Dimensions
Each chew measures about 5" long overall, 1/2" in diameter on one end, and 3/8" in diameter on the other end. 

Toughness 
The Bite Tube is available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:

Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything) and/or those with limited jaw strength

XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers

XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough").  It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly pretty firm (although not as firm/tough as our solid chews). .  

Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace at first sign of wear and tear.

Butter Pencil Grip (2 Pack) was invented by occupational therapist Tina M. Butterfield, MSOT, OTR/L and developed by ARK Therapeutic. The Butter Grip is specially designed to promote proper finger positioning during writing tasks. The fingers "hug" the grip, and the fingertips rest just below the grip on the pencil. In this position, the Butter Grip opens up the web space, provides support to the finger muscles, and can help decrease hyperextension.  

• Can be used with standard pencils, most crayons, and most pens
• Comes in 8 colors
• Ambidextrous
• Ages 3+
• Made in USA

Benefits

• Encourages fine motor development and handwriting legibility
• The round shape of this occupational therapy pencil grip serves as a tactile cue for the fingers to grasp around
• Use the Butter Grip with golf pencils (sold separately) so that beginners or individuals with fine motor difficulties can hold the whole round pencil grip in the palm of their hand for added support
• For those who need extra input to the hand, try putting the second Butter Grip on the opposite end of a regular pencil (near the eraser); this will add a bit more weight to the pencil for added hand awareness and help the pencil "fall into" the web space where it should rest

Toughness levels

Soft / Standard (Magenta or Red) - recommended for mild chewing, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.  These are the softest ones with the most “squishiness” and “give” to them.

XT / Medium Firm (Lime Green or Teal) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough."  These are firmer, but still fairly chewy.  Recommended for moderate chewers.  Or, individuals working on building jaw strength can eventually "graduate" from the soft to the XT.

XXT / Very Firm (Royal Blue or Forest Green) - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough."  These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw.  No chew tool is indestructible, but these are very tough / the longest lasting option for avid chewing.  The Y-Chew XXT is usually the overall longest lasting chew for most avid chewers.

The Krypto-Bite Chewable Tube Necklace is very similar to its popular gem-shaped cousin with one main difference:  instead of hanging vertically, this tube necklace hangs horizontally.  In other words, the string goes through the whole pendant instead of just through the top.  Use this prism-shaped chew pendant as a safe, discreet, and stylish solution for anyone who needs to chew.  This tube necklace is a great "chewelry" (chewable jewelry) oral sensory solution for both boys and girls, kids and adults to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.
