Elevated Feeding Table
Purpose
Precious, who lives with FOP in Nigeria, created this elevated table to improve her independence during meals. She says “This is a high-standing table that brings food up to my level, so I don’t have to bend or strain. Instead of adjusting my body to the food, I bring the food to me.”
