 My father has Parkinson's and is finding it challenging to eat off of a standard dinner plate. Each time he tries to get food onto his fork or spoon, he finds that either the food slides off of his plate, or the plate slides away altogether. Do you know if there is a plate or bowl specifically designed for people with this condition?

 It can be very difficult for people with Parkinson's to eat off of standard tableware. Thankfully, there are a number of products available commercially that are specifically designed to help people with Parkinson's eat more easily. Below are direct links to some examples of such products: <ul> <li><a href="https://healthcaresolutions.ca/products/gripware-melamine-scoop-dish" target="_blank">GripWare Scoop Dish</a> by North Coast Medical (at Healthcare Solutions) has a contoured lip that makes it easier to trap and push food onto cutlery.

Food Bumper clips onto any circular dinner plate and essentially provides a wall so that food can be more easily pushed onto the utensil.
