Ideal For

This adaptive scooper plate is well-suited for individuals with hemiplegia, stroke-related weakness, or other conditions affecting one-sided hand function who need a plate that allows safe, independent one-handed eating without assistance. It is an excellent choice for occupational therapists recommending adaptive dinnerware for patients with limited grip strength, reduced hand and wrist mobility, or fine motor impairments who struggle with standard flat plates during meals. Elderly individuals and those with Parkinson's disease, arthritis, or tremors will find the high rim and reverse curve design helpful for keeping food on the plate and guiding it onto a spoon or fork with minimal effort. It also serves caregivers and family members supporting a loved one's mealtime independence who want a simple, dishwasher-safe adaptive plate that requires no special setup or accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the reverse curve help with eating?
The reverse curve is a raised, angled section on one side of the plate's inner rim. When the user pushes food against this curve with a spoon or fork, the curve redirects the food back onto the utensil rather than allowing it to slide off the edge of the plate. This makes it significantly easier to scoop food with one hand or with limited wrist control.

Does the suction cup work on all surfaces?
The suction cup base works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass, tile, laminate, and smooth plastic tabletops. It may not adhere securely to textured, rough, or porous surfaces such as wood grain, fabric placemats, or unfinished surfaces. For best results, ensure the table surface and suction cup are clean and dry before placing the plate.

Can I put the suction cup in the dishwasher?
No. The plate itself is dishwasher safe, but the suction cup base should be removed before washing and cleaned separately by hand. Dishwasher heat can degrade the suction cup material over time, reducing its ability to grip the table surface.

What conditions is this plate designed for?
This plate is designed for individuals with one-sided weakness or paralysis (such as from stroke or hemiplegia), limited hand and wrist mobility, reduced grip strength, fine motor impairments, or tremors. It is commonly recommended by occupational therapists as part of an adaptive dining program for patients working toward greater mealtime independence.
