Hi. Rachael

If you google cutlery for disabled you will find several firms who supply these. Don't forget if/when you buy anything to let them know that you don't pay VAT

Good luck. Ted

I buy a lot of goods from

completecareshop.co.uk

🙂 I recently watched a video on YouTube about cutlery. The company is liftware.com but unfortunately the cutlery is only available in the U.S.

I was impressed by the improvement, the person demonstrating had severe tremor. It's about time something similar became available here🙂xB

Hi Rachael

Your son can be assessed by an occupational therapist and have all of these items trailed. Depending on his age and the area you live in you may mot need to pay for these items e.g. if he is at school or known to statutory services. But be sure to get professiommal advice before you make any purchases as everybody fumctions in different ways and what is right for one person may not be rigjt for another - even if they have tje same condition.

Good luck!
