The purpose of this study is to pilot our current method of capturing, coding and analyzing biting and chewing of typically developing children across a variety of textures and environmental contexts. This study consists of ten typically developing children ages 6-30-months. Prior to participating in the study caregivers were required to complete a detailed case history questionnaire. Caregivers were then instructed to capture a photo of the child's typical meal and to video record the child eating that meal in their home environment. The videos collected were randomly assigned an identification number, then coded and analyzed using the Bite and Chew Home Video Data Sheet, which includes operational definitions of normal biting and chewing behaviors in typically developing children. The data document the timeline of emergence and mastery of sustained bite and chew trajectories (vertical, diagonal, rotary) across a variety of textures operationally defined by the National Dysphagia Diet. The results thus far appear to be consistent with Morris and Klein (2000) except that the three chew trajectories appear to be present from earlier stages of chewing.
