Works Great If It Fits the Straw!
The first straw I tried one of these on was a hard plastic straw. It fit, and within five or ten minutes my toddler knew how to use a straw. This is great because the sucking can help build oral muscle tone. Many children with speech or eating difficulties have low oral muscle tone. I think it may fit the average throw-away straws that you can buy, but my toddler bites them and I did not try them. I did decide to get a shorter hard plastic straw because what we were using was long and not working well for him. That is when I found out that these do not fit all straws. It is a great product, but I would bring one to the store and test it in the straw before I purchased the straw. It slides into the bottom end of the straw and can be too big for some straws and too small for others.

great!
Wonderful product. I'm an SLP and often recommend honey bear cups for kids learning t to drink from straws but if your child already knows how to suck it's great to have these as well since u can use in any standard straw with any cup that uses standard straws.myy daughter has low tone so we use these to help with endurance and fatigue so that she will drink more.

Able to skip the sippy cup
I was looking for a sippy cup for my little one but stumbled upon this straw valve. It was such a big help in teaching my daughter to drink from a straw. We were able to skip the sippy cups altogether since they aren't the best for their oral development anyways. Would defiantly purchase again and I highly recommend them.

He can use straws again!
These work very well to control the straw flow of liquids with someone that has dysphagia. Their Dr told them no more straws because they can't control the flow, but now WE can!

THEY WORK GREAT! I LOVE THESE FLOW VALVES. My 3yr old nephew has autism and he is able to drink from a cup and straw thanks to the ARK'S Select Flow Valve.
