You may want to look into a Steady Spoon. It has a weighted end that assists in keeping the bowl of the spoon even. I think you can find it through Sammons Preston. I've used it with some of the students I work with who have CP and it has worked really well. Hope this helps! Sandy

self-feeding that would help a person with severe
uncontrolled movements?
I remember seeing a device with 2 metal arms with a
handle at the end (spoon attached) so the person could
grab hold and gain some distal stability.
Weights dont work - neither does a mobile arm support.
Thanks,
Rob
