Where can i buy special eating utensils for a child with autism?
Your local pharmacy will be able to order special spoons for you, these have a variety of different grips which make them easier to hold. Autistic children don’t often have an associated grip problem, if they are unable to eat with utensils it is usually because they don’t understand why they are needed when hands do the job just as well! Sometimes simply the shape, colour or shine of the cutlery can make it difficult for an autistic child to touch it so buying an adapted spoon may not solve your problem. http://www.nas.org.uk/ these guys can be very helpful.
