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.

    Leckey Squiggles Seating System

    This fully adjustable chair is designed for children between 1 and 5 years. The chair is on castor wheels for ease of movement around the environment.

    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.

    The angle of the stool allows a gravity assisted strong anchor point for the feet.
