More information

As it became more difficult for Steve to hold a cup and use regular straws, we switched to a Giraffe Bottle Tower System. The basic setup is a 24-ounce water bottle with a large straw. The straw has a one-way valve which keeps liquid in the straw making it easier for him to use. The straw is fed through a bendable piece that holds its shape. This combination allowed Steve to drink water and other non-carbonated liquids with limited support.

Even though you can use it for hot drinks, we found the insulated bottle a better option for Steve’s coffee. It keeps coffee warm and his other drinks not tasting like coffee.

We purchased some accessories. We got an over the shoulder holder and weighted table stand. These were necessary because the bottles do not stand on their own.
