| INDEPENDENT EATING... A WONDERFUL GIFT |
| Imagine sitting down to your holiday dinner with family and friends. Last year one of your loved ones needed to be fed, but this year they can eat independently because they have a Mealtime Partner Dining System. With this system people are able to eat independently at the pace that they choose; they do not have to wait to be fed. They have autonomy with the rest of the people at the dining table! What a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays. Click the following link to learn more about how to gain mealtime independence for those who cannot feed themselves. |

| The Mealtime Partner Dining System is quick and easy to learn and has no complicated programming requirements. Each Dining Systems come with a complete training video on DVD so new users and caregivers can learn to use it in just a few minutes.

Those who are at risk of choking should consider drinking from a Provale Cup: it provides a sip of thin liquid every time it is tipped up to take a drink. It prevents the user from receiving a large "gulp" of liquid. And, for those who are required to drink thickened liquids, the Thicken Liquid Cup is an excellent choice. This cup can serve varying thicknesses of liquids and can control the volume of liquid that is served by an adjustable drinking spout that can serve a small stream of liquid or just a trickle. |

| Did You Know? Did you know that during gift giving season special attention should be paid to the safety of toys that are being given. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) publishes an annual report on the safety of toys. The report draws attention to the risks associated with foot-powered scooters, such as those produced under the trade name Razor. Resurgences in the popularity of kick scooters started in 2000 and have continued since then. Injuries associated with these toys have increased 40% over the past 20 years. In 2013, 52,500 injuries and 1 death are associated with foot-powered scooters. The recommendation from researchers into child injuries is to wear a helmet. Also, adults should carefully supervise scooter riders’ 8-years old and younger, and no child, regardless of age, should ride a scooter in traffic. Scooter manufacturers recommend that not only do riders where a helmet but that they also wear knee and elbow pads. |
