Finding cheap therapeutic items around the house

One of the amazing helpful items I use with my students is the stretchy shelf liner that can be found at a Dollar Store for $1.00 per roll.   This can be cut to size and placed under items on a table, desk or wheelchair tray in order that toys, dishes, bowls, etc. do not move around when someone is trying to utilize them.

Another helpful feeding item for an older child or adult with poor motor skills is a corning ware baking dish.  This dish has sides so food does not escape.   It also has enough weight that it does not move around when a person with poor coordination pushes at it too much.   This tip was given to me by my mother-in-law who is caring for her husband who has had strokes and parkinsons disease.
