Answer to Question 1

Adaptive feeding devices can make a remarkable difference in a person's ability to eat independently.
A person with an inability to suck may use squeeze bottles to express liquids into the mouth; the tongue can also be stimulated by applying downward pressure or slow, rhythmic strokes. Someone with an inability to chew may try different textures of foods or eat very soft foods that require minimal chewing. A person with dysphagia can use thickened liquids to facilitate easier swallowing; sitting upright with correct posture can help to promote swallowing as well. Someone with difficulties grasping items or coordinating movements can use utensils with modified handles or plates with food guards to make feeding easier.
