What does it do?

The Neater Eater operates as follows:

• Food is scooped up as the level spoon comes forward against the turned over lip of the plate.

• The plate can be turned directly, remotely or under electric power to reach the food required.

• The spoon is lifted up and forward until it reaches the mouth.

Who can use it?

Each Neater Eater is tailor-made to individual requirements through the use of modules offering different features. It is this modular design that makes the system suitable for a wide range of abilities, including those with PSP and CBD.
