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

Leckey MYGO Stander

  • Standing
  • Description

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

    The Leckey MYGO Stander is designed for use with children aged 4-14 years. The seating system is fully adjustable.

    Inclusion Possibilities

    • Supports access and participation
    • Can be used for individual and/or group experiences

    Things to consider

    • Educators should consider how the chair 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 chair
    • Educators should consult the operating manual and therapists as needed

    • As this chair does not place the child on the floor, consider other seating options such as the Jenx Corner Chair or Cap Corner Chair to ensure the child can have opportunities to engage with peers in floor activities

    • Size 1 ( 4-10 yrs)
    • Size 2 ( 8-14 yrs)

    Storage and use
