I use the weighted fork and spoon. Works great eating corn or rice.

Some people find them useful. They made things worse for me. Using a soup plate instead of a dinner plate can help keep the table clean.

I've used them for about 18 months now. Easy to use.

Hi Peggy
I bought the weighted silverware for David several months ago but he didn’t seem to think that it was necessary. I think he probably doesn’t want to feel different. I put them away for now but have them if it becomes more difficult. Thanks for your insights.
Blessings,
Trena
