On September 3rd, My Plate-Mate made an appearance on the Today Show with Donny Deutch, WOW! Michele Wong and Paige Akabane designed an amazing product for toddlers to eat with success, not mess.
"The mission of My Plate-Mate is to offer clients a unique self-feeding product. As a learning tool, My Plate-Mate assists in promoting independence and self confidence in all users no matter their age or limitation. Michele and Paige understand the importance and joy that comes from being able to share a meal with family and friends. My Plate-Mate will bring back this positive dining experience and eliminate the frustration and mess."
As a mom of a 4 year old, I know where the majority of the food ends up, on the floor and not in the mouth.
They also promote this product for the elderly that have difficulty with decreased or loss of vision, poor motor control, poor coordination, tremors, poor postural control, decreased range of motion. They are definately thinking out of the box!!
Michele and Paige, good luck with this product, it is GREAT!!! Check out their site at http://www.myplate-mate.com/
