Chopsticks, chopsticks

This afternoon, Jake ate his snack with “chopsticks”. I know, even snack time is therapy time, poor Jake! Jake’s OT gave him the chopsticks not long ago. As much as he was motivated by the food in front of him, he couldn’t use the chopsticks at all in the beginning, because he had a hard time controlling his fingers.

I practiced with him a few times, and his OT practiced with him a few times. He slowly gained some control but it wasn’t until this afternoon that he interpedently ate with these chopsticks. They are made in Korea and are sold at a Korean supermarket for approximately $4. Apparently, they are common household objects in Korea. But I think whoever invented this is a genius; I hope he/she is rich from the invention.
