Refugee Week

Refugee Week, 15-21 June, promotes greater awareness of refugees, the issues they face, and the contributions refugees are making to the Australian community.

Do you reflect on your own bias and perceptions of refugees and asylum seekers?
How do you link families with local refugee and asylum seeker supports, and community programs?
What reasonable adjustments might be required to support children from a refugee background?

Jenx Multistander

  • Standing
  • Description

    Standing frames can be used for children who are unable to stand independently, to keep their body in good alignment and posture.

    The Jenx Multistander is designed for use with children aged between 9 months and 13 years. The frames have an upright design and the height of the frame and leg positions are adjustable without the need to use any tools. A tray comes with this stand, which can be stored when not in use.

    .

    Inclusion Possibilities

    • Can provide opportunities for children to participate independently with peers in experiences where children are standing
    • Can be used for individual and/or group experiences
    • Supports the child’s body allowing the upper limbs to be free to use
    • Allows the child to see and access the environment at the same height as their peers when standing

    Things to consider


    • Use of standing frames should only occur for periods of time where the child’s peers are also standing

    • Educators should consult with therapists and parents about the amount of time appropriate for use

    • Educators need to plan how standing frames will be used in terms of staffing, routines and experiences within the care environment to maximise children’s participation in the program and interaction with peers

    Storage and use
