Cutlery for child with hypermobility?

[MegBusset]

Can anyone recommend a cutlery set for a 4yo with hypermobility? Poor DS2 is really struggling with a normal knife and fork.

Caring cutlery was recommended by our OT - sorry I can't link but you should be able to Google. My dd is extremely hypermobile but won't use anything 'different' - makes life very hard for herself!

We use the caring cutlery, can't remember where we got it from though

Caring cutlery is most often recommended, from what I've seen. But there's also this: www.mobilityshop.co.uk/kitchen-and-dining-aids/cutlery-aids/foam-padding-cylindrical-2cm-diameter_cylindrical-foam-padding.html
