Top tips for eating with a chapati:

As well as watching the videos, follow our top tips for eating with a chapati:

• Tear a piece of chapati that is easy to hold and grip. Try different sizes to see which size of piece works best.

Note: These movement demonstration videos have been designed to help children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD; dyspraxia) learn how to eat with a chapati successfully. The videos show a movement demonstration for eating with a chapati, performed by a typically developing child model and recorded from a first-person viewpoint. A qualified occupational therapist instructed the child model how to perform the movement demonstration to ensure that an appropriate technique was demonstrated. The videos are free for use by dyspraxic people, parents, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, teachers, or anybody else who would find them useful for supporting the learning of eating skills in children with dyspraxia/DCD.
