dyspraxia (cutlery for dyspraxic children)

[lottiejenkins]

have found this anyone got any other suggestions??

Its for my friend's son who has dyspraxia. He is five and half.

Caring Cutlery.

They do 2 sizes one for kids and one for adults.

The OT's got Dd3 using some when they assessed her. It was good because there is an obvious place to put your forefinger when cutting.

Dd3 was able to use it quite well. .

Where do you get caring cutlery from? I could really do with some of this for my ds.

I think the benefits now shop is the cheapest.

We have the same issue as mrsmagnolia, Dd3 doesn't want me to buy a set becasue she doesn't want to be different.

Having said that her use of cutlery has improved lately as I have been saying if she doesn't practice hard I will be buying a set.

Most food is eaten with fingers, including I saw the other day Spaghetti bolagnese[sp?] .

dd2 had Junior Caring Cutlery too. also second an ot assessment. we tried a few different sorts before coming up with the best match for dd2.

have you tried fledglings, they do various cutlery sets i believe xx

Thanks for all your advice......my friends son has had an ot assessment ( i didnt know this when i posted ) He has been reccomended Caring Cutlery... She has gone onto benefits now site and is going to order some. She has asked me to pass on her thanks!!

Fledglings do various types of cutlery to cater for different ranges of ability and also drinking cups.

we called it her 'pointy finger' cutlery. it's very good.
