[nabs-l] techniques in cafeterias and trays

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hi all,

How do you handle cafeterias?  If your university is like mine, and most are standard setups, you have various stations.  For instance mine had an entree line, grill, sandwich area, salad bar and more.  Did you have an employee help you?  I chose to do that since it was most efficient.  We walked to the various places and they told me the food and I selected what I wanted.  

Do you carry your own tray?  I always struggled with that; its hard to balance and keep level.  A mobility instructor showed me but its hard; always seems to wobble in my hand.  I either place my hand across the tray or under the tray and grasp it from underneath.  I usually opt for someone to carry it.  

Happy New year!
