This World Autism Understanding Day, April 2nd, let’s move beyond just being 'aware' of Autism and Autistic people and start to understand, accept and celebrate Autism and Autistic people. 

 

What reasonable adjustments might be required to support children with Autism in your environment?

 

Available

CAP T-Stool

  • Seating
  • Description

    This T-Stool is a height-adjustable stool that can be used to increase a child’s sense of balance, body awareness and postural stability. This may increase their ability to watch, listen, focus and attend.

    Inclusion Possibilities

    • Can provide support to enable a child to access and participate in seated experiences with their peers
    • Can provide sensory input to help calm or increase levels of arousal to enable increased opportunities for engagement and participation

    Things to consider

    • Educators should consider how this stool will be used within the care environment to maximise children’s participation in the program and to facilitate peer interaction

    • Educators should consult with therapists and parents about appropriate timeframes when using the stool

    Size Options

    • One size

    Storage and use

    • This equipment can be used outdoors in dry conditions but must be stored indoors to minimise surface damage
