Equipment Shop - of Bedford, Massachusetts was established
over 40 years ago to bring affordable equipment to families, schools and agencies to
enhance the development of children with disabilities. After many years of selling therapy balls and larger
equipment, the operation turned to focus on oral motor equipment,
especially their Maroon Spoons and Flexi Cut Cups. All proudly made in the USA! Owners; Carrie studied Occupational Therapy at Tufts University and Ken, engineering at Northeastern. Carrie
then worked in a progressive therapeutic preschool and Ken in his
family's manufacturing and sales business. Carrie's school had a difficult time
finding suitable equipment for the classroom. Back then, it was common
for therapists to make their own equipment as no one in the USA
was manufacturing needed items. With Carrie's
inventions and Ken's access to a complete development shop at the
family's company to build almost anything, they began
researching sources and developed designs for equipment not available in
the U.S.A. to make it available. Everyone at
Equipment Shop is glad to be part of the lives of these special kids.
