Product Information

If you have problems with swallowing, but have never seen a speech and language therapist, you are strongly advised to do so. If you find that eating and drinking causes spillage onto your clothes, you may want to consider wearing an apron or bib. This design encourages drinking from a normal cup rather than a spout and its shape enables carers to easily see the level of fluid in relation to the user's mouth. These systems should only be obtained after assessment and recommendation by a speech and language therapist as they are deemed to have potential for choking or causing discomfort for an untrained user.

When you are looking at equipment, consider practicalities such as whether the cutlery/crockery can be washed in a dishwasher, whether dishes are suitable for the microwave and whether they are also suitable for a carer to handle, put together, keep clean, etc. You may be provided with equipment and services as a preventative measure, before a needs assessment is done. Unbreakable crockery may be more practical if breakages are common place, although many items are made of lightweight materials such as plastic, and are therefore more easily knocked out of position. BOTTLE FEEDING : Babies from the age of 6 months or earlier should be introduced to drinking from the DOIDY and the use of a bottle should be actively discouraged after the age of 12 months.

If colour is not specified we will dispatch pastel pink, yellow and green as the default cup colours. They may be preferred by users with sight loss to identify where different foods are placed on the plate. Look for retailers who are members of the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA), which means that they adhere to the organisation’s code of practice.

If you know and understand the difficulties that you have and the reasons for them, you will be more able to select the right equipment to meet your needs.For anyone, whether able bodied or not, it is best to be sitting upright in a well-supported position.

These support the user's forearm in a trough-shaped device that tilts to bring the hand down and upwards.

It can be used as a training cup for children or as a general use cup for people that struggle to move their neck when drinking. If you are at home and not currently receiving hospital treatment, you will need to contact the local authority occupational therapy service for adults.

Award-winning scientific design – Unique slant enables infants to judge liquid levels and allows natural motion of arms during drinking. If you have pain or stiffness in your neck, perhaps through arthritis, you may not be able to tilt your head forwards or backwards. If you have mobility issues with your hands, such as tremors, painful fingers, swollen joints or paralysis, you may find it harder to prepare food, and enjoy mealtimes. This helps to transition infants to the weaning stage by introducing the concept of independent drinking. When they become difficult to do for yourself, the problems can seem to be disproportionately dominant.
