The seemingly SMALL bits of AID, to those whom are Able-Bodied, non-effected / limited challenged individuals, may seem minimally without merit.
==> To a physically challenged person’s hands, each properly selected item, is simply
“PRICELESS !”
As a 40+ year MSer, I can not begin to explain to you, the
HUGE ASSISTANCE these items provide...
Within 1 week, I will become
(77) years old. These are truly
FANTABULOUS ! ! !
NOTE: “PROPER SELECTION of these AIDS, are beyond any
Monetary $$$ VALUE !”
“MAKE a LIFE BETTER !”

Thank you very much! I needed a nice refresher on some of our OT feeding equipment, and this did the job nicely.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

Glad it helped!

Good video

[@oyellaokot]

Sad that I found out about you today but glad that I finally did. Thanks for the video.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

Why sad?

[@oyellaokot]

@@MrsTimishaTross because I found the information late. But better late than never😊

[@nataliedecker_fan1746]

Thanks for the information. I have C5 spinal cord damage. I was wondering if you knew how the Kennedy cup got it's name. The story I got is that Ted Kennedy was using one when he rolled his car into the Chappaquiddick, and he didn't spill a drop.

[@nataliedecker_fan1746]

Instead of a rocker knife, I use a pizza cutter.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

Sorry don't know where the name came from

[@ABlessing-jz5uq]

[@geetapagare5821]

Where can we get

[@lisapurcell4212]

Would be nice to give product links....can't use any of these if I don't know where to buy them.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

You can google the name, most are found in a catalog which is usually retrieved through your employer or online.

[@Learner161]

Thank you for sharing but can you put the name of the utensils on the video too. I need to know how to write it down.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

I will do a updated video soon, thank you for the advice, but I do say the names.

Hi. What type of adaptive spoon can help an elderly patient whose neck is tilted to the left? Every time she eats, a significant amount of food falls to the floor because of the angulation of the spoon in relation to her tilted neck? We cannot tilt the spoon so that it will parallel her mouth because the food will just fall off the spoon.

[@MrsTimishaTross]

I would need alittle more details, but if the only issue is the head tilt, I would look into a "deep spoon" which will lessen food from falling out.

[@anesthesia166]

@@MrsTimishaTross yes, it's the head tilt that's causing so much food falling. I will suggest to use a deep spoon. Thanks.

[@challengeyourself1541]

Which adaptive ADL equipment would be MOST BENEFICIAL for a client who has Poor (2/5) hand strength?

[@MrsTimishaTross]

A universal cuff or a wrist orthosis with a universal cuff.
