Adaptive Cutlery Set (3.5cm Grip) | NDIS Supportive Eating Aid

Make mealtimes a more comfortable, dignified, and independent experience with our Adaptive Cutlery Set. This 3-piece set is thoughtfully engineered to provide stability and support for NDIS participants with tremors, a weak grip, or limited hand mobility. It is a fundamental tool that helps to reduce frustration and increase confidence during one of the most important daily living activities.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Secure & Comfortable Grip: The thick, non-slip rubber handles have a diameter of approximately 3.5 cm, making them significantly easier to hold for individuals with arthritis, a weak grip, or limited hand strength.

• Enhanced Stability & Control: Each utensil is weighted to approximately 150 grams, providing proprioceptive feedback that helps to dampen tremors and give the user greater control over their movements.

• Effortless Cutting Action: The included rocker knife features a unique curved blade that allows for cutting with a simple rocking motion, eliminating the need for the complex "sawing" action that can be difficult for those with limited wrist or arm mobility.

• High-Quality & Hygienic Materials: Crafted from durable, food-grade stainless steel and a non-slip rubber handle, this set is built for daily use and is completely dishwasher safe for easy, hygienic cleaning.

How This Cutlery Supports Independence

This adaptive cutlery set is a vital assistive tool that supports NDIS goals by:

• Supporting Individuals with Tremors: The added weight provides stabilizing resistance, which can be highly effective in reducing the impact of tremors (e.g., from Parkinson's disease or essential tremor) on eating.

• Aiding Those with a Weak or Painful Grip: The large, built-up handles reduce the need for fine motor control and a tight grip, making them ideal for individuals with arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, or post-stroke weakness.

• Promoting Mealtime Independence: This set empowers individuals to eat on their own with greater ease and less spillage, fostering a sense of dignity, confidence, and independence in a core daily living activity.
