Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Regain confidence at the dining table with theErgonomic Adaptive Utensils Set. This specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology is engineered to support NDIS participants living with Parkinson’s disease, hand tremors, arthritis, or limited wrist mobility.
Standard cutlery requires complex wrist rotation and a steady hand, which can lead to spills and frustration for many users. This set features a360° Swivel Mechanismthat automatically keeps the fork or spoon head level, regardless of how the handle is twisted or shaken. This "self-leveling" action prevents food from falling off, ensuring it reaches the mouth safely.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
Counteracting Tremors (Parkinson's/Essential Tremor):The swivel design works with gravity to stabilize the food, neutralizing the effect of hand tremors. This allows participants to eat neat, nutritious meals without relying on a carer to feed them.
Supporting Weak Grip (Arthritis/Stroke):The built-inadjustable silicone strapsecures the utensil to the hand. This is vital for users who cannot maintain a tight grip, preventing the cutlery from being dropped during the meal.
Cognitive & Appetite Support (Dementia/Alzheimer's):The high-contrastRed Colouris not just a design choice; research indicates that red tableware can increase appetite and food recognition for individuals with Alzheimer's and cognitive impairments, helping to maintain healthy weight and nutrition.
Ergonomic Comfort:The non-slip, built-up handles are easy to hold, reducing hand fatigue and pain associated with gripping thin, standard metal cutlery.
Key Features & Benefits
360° Self-Leveling:Keeps food stable on the utensil even if the user's hand shakes or twists, significantly reducing spills and mess.
Secure Hand Strap:An adjustable silicone strap ensures the utensil stays attached to the hand, supporting users with practically zero grip strength.
High-Contrast Red Design:Scientifically selected to boost appetite and visibility for users with cognitive or visual impairments.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel:Durable, hygienic, and safe for daily use, with rounded edges to protect the mouth and gums.
Universal Design:Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users, providing a flexible solution for diverse needs.
