Maddadapt Built-Up Handle Cutlery - Fork

Stainless steel utensils feature lightweight, built-up plastic handles to aid those who have arthritis or a weak grasp. Adjustable rings on the handles give support against individual fingers for maximum comfort and grip, and they are removable. The handles are hollow so that non-toxic weight can be added when necessary (Maddaplas Putty, cat. no. H70935-0003 is recommended). A loop on the handle can be used to tie the handle to the wrist. Dishwasher safe.

PLAY Tip
Learning Shapes the Musical Way!
Children with special needs can be slower to learn their colors, shapes and fastenings. The Jumbo Music Block teaches all three at once! A song tells children which side of the block to turn up and a special treat is hidden behind each fastening. Try saying the name of the color and shape as the child is searching and again when it is found to add extra reinforcement of the concepts.
