One of the things associated with cerebral palsy is challenges with eating. 🥄🥣🥤
My son sometimes has a difficulty chewing/biting off pieces. Bread can get gummy…and sticks to the roof of his mouth. His tongue sometimes has a hard time dislodging it.
We were SO fortunate to receive this meal from our local school! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I toasted the bread(breaks down easily)and cut the meat/cheese into bite-size pieces and put it back into the bun.
We used a spoon to feed him Craisins so that we’re not sticking our fingers in his mouth(gross for both!).
Merlin uses a straw to drink. We use covered containers since sometimes his arms will swing(accidentally?)and smack his drink LOL.
It’s all about adapting/modifying so that Merlin can enjoy life just like his peers.
