Frequently Bought Together
Regain total independence in the kitchen and enjoy meal times on your own terms with the Homecraft Plastic Spread Board. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this moulded adaptive dining aid is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with hemiparesis (unilateral weakness) after a stroke, upper-limb amputations, severe arthritis, or hand tremors.
Preparing simple meals like toast, sandwiches, or bagels normally requires bilateral hand coordination—using one hand to stabilise the bread and the other to spread. For individuals with single-sided hand function, this makes independent eating impossible. The Homecraft Spread Board eliminates this barrier. It features an ergonomic, raised L-shaped corner wall that securely anchors the bread in place, while its non-slip underbase prevents the board from sliding across the benchtop. This allows participants to effortlessly spread butter, jam, or spreads with a single hand, restoring dignity, reducing carer reliance, and supporting independent living goals.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
-
Unilateral Task Facilitation (One-Handed Use): Bypasses the requirement for two-handed coordination, allowing amputees or post-stroke participants with hemiparesis to prepare their own food entirely with one hand.
-
Joint Protection & Pain Reduction: Relieves the need to actively pinch, hold, or stabilise bread, protecting the delicate joints of participants managing severe Rheumatoid Arthritis or osteoarthritis from painful hyperextension.
-
Fall & Slip Prevention: Features an integrated non-slip base that secures the board to the benchtop, preventing accidental slips and subsequent spills or physical over-balancing while applying downward pressure.
-
Psychological Empowerment & Dignity: Promotes self-reliance in fundamental self-care tasks, reducing frustration, boosting confidence, and actively decreasing the daily hours of required carer assistance during mealtimes.
