Children with Special Needs and Good Eating Habits
Teaching children with special needs good eating and drinking skills is important to do from the start - a bad habit can be very hard to break! To teach putting the cup back at the correct place on the table just put the Cup Detector where you want the cup to go and watch children eagerly put their cup there to get the reward of lights and music. This can easily be taken to school or daycare to help teach the skill across many settings.
