    Other Equipment

    Movin' Sit Junior

    This triangular wedge-shaped inflatable cushion is designed to promote correct seated posture. The wedge shape is particularly helpful for children who have low muscle tone.

    These cushions are also an effective way to provide children with sensory input whilst they are seated, as the inflatable material allows children to wriggle.

    Sloped Writing Board

    An angled writing board can reduce the need for neck and trunk flexion during tabletop activities e.g. writing or reading. This may help where a child has restricted upper body movement and strength (reduces need for reach, promotes functional hand positions for fine motor tasks) or a visual impairment. It promotes a more upright trunk position, good hand position for drawing activities and may reduce eye strain for visual scanning activities.
