[Dysphagia] Adapted cup

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone knows of a cup with a straw attachment that keeps the
liquid at the top of the straw, reducing oral effort with each suck.
I found a 'one-way drinking straw' on Alimed's website which is the
principle I'm looking for.
I'm wondering if anyone has any similar products to endorse or what the
comments are on the straw described above.
This is for a gentleman with advanced PD who is experiencing exacerbation of
dysphagia.
Thanks,
Kim
