The Steady Spoon is a spoon with counterweights that help to keep the spoon level, even if the user’s arm is shaking or in an awkward position. The spoon also has a built-up handle with a hook-and-loop strap, so the user does not need a strong grasp to hold it. This makes the Steady Spoon a great option for people with tremors, limited hand strength, or other challenges that make it difficult to eat independently.
In addition to its practical benefits, the Steady Spoon can also provide proprioceptive input for children with PDD and SI problems. Proprioception is the sense of where our body is in space, and it is important for a variety of tasks, including eating. The weight of the Steady Spoon can help to improve proprioception, which can make it easier for children with these challenges to eat independently.
