[nabs-l] techniques in cafeterias and trays

[Amy Sabo]

hello ashely and all,

this is a good thread indeed to discuss and also use. at my college i don't use a tray at all since there''s no cafeteria at my school just snack bars, deli's, and a food court. as for the food court i always get myy food in a bag even though i'm going to just sit in there instead of going outside to eat. but, in the deli i use a tray byy holding the cane in my left hand and the tray with myy right hand for the most part.

i hope this is helpful to you all. take care all and i will talk to you all soon!


hugss,
from amy

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!
Ashley
