Therapy Goals
- Support every stage of the self-feeding journey with purpose-built spoon options
- Provide sensory input and food placement support through the textured spoon
- Refine control and portion awareness using the smooth spoon
- Promote safer self-feeding with spoon bowls designed to reduce oral spillage
- Encourage independent grasping and arm-to-wrist rotation through ergonomic handles
Key Benefits
- Two-spoon system addresses different stages of self-feeding: textured for sensory input and food placement, smooth for refining control and portion awareness
- Textured spoon bowl provides added proprioceptive input and helps hold food in place during scooping
- Sloped textured bowl safely channels food into the mouth, reducing oral spillage
- Smooth spoon’s shallow bowl limits portion size and encourages safe, deliberate self-feeding
- Symmetrical, bulb-shaped handle on the textured spoon is proportionally designed for independent grasping by early eaters
- Curved, bulb-shaped handle on the smooth spoon promotes grip control and supports arm-to-wrist rotation
- Guard flange elevates the bowl above the eating surface, keeping it clean and preventing the spoon from rolling
- Flexible yet sturdy silicone bowls allow safer contact with gums and early teeth
- Made from LFGB Platinum grade silicone exceeding FDA standards
Ideal for:
- Infants and toddlers beginning baby-led weaning and self-feeding development
- Children with sensory processing disorders, oral motor difficulties, or feeding challenges
- Children with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or neurological differences
- Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and occupational therapists (OTs) supporting self-feeding transitions
