Having a child with Cerebral Palsy often means finding aids and products to help with daily living.
CP Discovery is dedicated, not only to helping parents discover the best therapies for their child, but to helping them find ways to manage day to day.
There are many products on the market that help with eating, drinking, walking, sitting, and other necessary functions.
Along with our daily blog postings, CP Discovery will periodically post ideas for products we think are worth taking a look at.
Today, we have what's called a 'Nose Out Tumbler'.
We chose this product because it allows the child to drink without tilting the head.
This is ideal for people who choke easily or have neck injuries. It is especially useful for for children who have cerebral palsy.
Secondly, we recommend the 'Stable Slide'.
This is an easy to use feeder that guides the arm while moving from plate to mouth.
It's ideal for people who have upper extremity weakness and poor motor control.
