ABSTRACT:
The present invention consists of an angled disabled and/or young child's feeding implement which has a handle portion which is bent from the longitudinal axis of the implement by approximately fifteen to seventy degrees. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the feeding element portion has either a spoon bowl portion or a fork tine portion which is provided with a threaded fastening element extending therefrom. The corresponding handle portion contains the desired bend and further contains a corresponding threaded aperture which is adapted to removably secure the threaded fastening element of the feeding element portion so that fork tines, spoon bowls and a variety of handle portions of slim, medium and thick dimensions may be readily interchanged to suit the development, size and capabilities of the child. A flanged annulus may be further provided as a mouth guard to prevent choking.
