Trying to open one this morning, had to puncture the spout with the handle of a plastic spoon. No training in that from my therapists. Managed not to spill it. With plastic bottles I have to hope the cap is small enough to get my teeth around it. No training in that either.
I think PTs and OTs should be given tasks to do one handed, so they can develop workarounds. One challenge I had in rehab was getting a banana for breakfast. Peeling a banana one handed is difficult, even if you use your teeth.
ReplyDeleteI got an unpeeled orange for breakfast once. Didn't even try to get it peeled.
