Feeding Therapy Spoons Limit Intake to Help Avoid Choking on Food!
Maroon Spoon by Equipment Shop - is ideal for feeding therapy as the narrow, shallow bowl is perfect for poor lip closure, oral hypersensitivity or tongue thrust as it helps limit the amount of food on the spoon making sure users don't
place too much food in their mouth. The flatter design also
makes it easier for users to get the food off the spoon. Unlike regular
baby spoons, the bowl design is thinner and shallower making them easier
to use for those with feeding challenges. Available
in two size options, spoon is also ideal for children, teens or adults, for those recovering from a stroke or experiencing other feeding issues. Long standing staple for feeding therapy programs. While extremely tough and break-resistant, these spoons are
plastic so the manufacturer does not recommend using them with clients with severe bite
