Cutlery & Dishes

There is a variety of specially designed cutlery and tableware to facilitate eating and promote independence. These include cutlery with thicker handles, non-slip surfaces, or angled grips to make holding easier. There are also plates and bowls with high edges to keep food on the utensils. Another important tool is the drinking cup with anti-drip or anti-spill lids to reduce the risk of spills. Many of these aids can be customized to meet the needs of each individual child. All of these tools enable children and adolescents with disabilities to be more self-reliant and independent, which can help strengthen their confidence and abilities.
