Wheelchair food tray

The parents of a hyperactive boy who wouldn’t sit at the table on a chair and had a habit of throwing plates asked for our help. They were going on holiday abroad with him for the first time and were very apprehensive about mealtimes.

As he had a new wheelchair into which he could be strapped, a portable tray was made which could be securely fixed to the chair. When not in use it could be carried on the chair base.

The chair worked very well at mealtimes and also, when out walking, toys on his tray kept him interested. It was a valuable contribution to the success of the holiday.
