Frequently Asked Questions
- Does putty actually help with ADHD?
- Research from the University of Central Florida shows that rhythmic fidgeting improves working memory in ADHD adults by 10–15%. Putty provides resistance-based sensory input that gives your hands something meaningful to do — unlike light plastic fidgets that lose their appeal in a week. Our customers use Beast Putty during meetings, on calls, and while working to stay focused without distracting anyone around them. It won't replace your meds, but it might replace your destroyed pen caps.
- Will it dry out?
- No. Beast Putty is made from premium silicone — not the rubber-based stuff that hardens into a rock after a week in your desk drawer. Keep it in the jar when you're not using it and it stays exactly the same. Months later, same stretch, same resistance, same color shift.
- Is Beast Putty safe for clients with oral sensory-seeking behaviors?
- Beast Putty is non-toxic, but it is not designed to be mouthed. For clients with pica or oral sensory-seeking behavior, BCBAs should assess individual risk. The putty's firm resistance makes it less likely to be mouthed than softer sensory items, but clinical judgment should guide use.
- Can Beast Putty be used as a reinforcer in ABA programs?
- Yes. Many clients with autism find Beast Putty's tactile feedback genuinely reinforcing. BCBAs can use it as a contingent reinforcer during structured teaching, a break activity, or a component of a token economy system.
- How quickly does Beast Putty ship to Richmond, VA?
- Beast Putty ships to Richmond-area practices via standard ground delivery, typically arriving in 3-5 business days.
