Many eating activities are comfortably done by an able bodied person. But they may not be simple for the disabled, who have difficulties in drinking or feeding and require some assistance. Dining aids for different purposes are available, providing a degree of freedom for the disabled.

A carton holder is handy for the opening, lifting and pouring of liquids from cartons. They offer stability and are useful for several functions. Jar, can and tin openers are available in different sizes and models and require little effort to use.

A two handled cup is beneficial for those with shaky or frail hands. These cups are dishwasher safe and are available in a variety of colours. Tumblers that prevent spillage are ideal for users who suffer hand tremors. Kettles are available with a tipper that prevents spillage and assist in pouring.

Storage boxes that can be opened by pressing the top of the lid are ideal for those with a weak or reduced grip. They keep food fresh and are of great use in the kitchen or can be used for all round storage. Difficulties in gripping spoons, knives and forks can be overcome by opting for cutlery with a fat, better adapted grip handle.

Disability aids are designed to assist the user. Using the latest technology, developments have been made to products that help in giving a greater degree of independence in your life.
