Jenx Multistander

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
