Thank you for the sensory teether idea. That may help. I have worked in child care for over 20 years and this is the first biter that I've had in my room. I wasn't aware sensory teethers for biters and autistic children existed but I just looked on Amazon and they look helpful. I do know this family has issues at home that is affected by the child. Both parents have had previous drug use (possibly during the pregnancy too.) Dad is now serving time in prison. The child is very young (17 months) but all these things must affect her and her response to situations. I am not ready to give up on this child. I will try the sensory teether, separation at times, and rewards for when I see she is playing well with the other kids, without biting. Thank you for your advice.
