Children and babies will range in their abilities and their need for equipment. Not all children will need 24 hour therapeutic positioning, but if they have a movement difficulty, no matter how slight, then it is something that should be considered. The kit used may be very similar for children with different needs but its use will vary.

Don’t forget you can always check out our Product Brochure and we are on hand to help.

I can move independently without assistance

It may be that I am very mobile and may not need therapeutic positioning. However, it is necessary to keep an eye on my body to ensure I don't start to develop asymmetry. This can be done using The Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry and The Mansfield Checklist.

I can move but I need some help

If I have a mobility issue I will need 24 hour postural care. The use of therapeutic positioning at night will help to protect my body shape. The Children's Kit is ideal to prevent me from developing changes in my body shape which could further limit my movement.

I find it hard to move independently

I need to use a wheelchair for a lot of my day so I will definitely need therapeutic positioning at night. The Children's Kit is ideal for supporting me and allowing me to grow in a symmetrical way. This will maximise my comfort, my ability to function and do stuff for myself as well as my quality of life.

I am dependent on others for my movement

I cannot move independently and so I will require the support of a positioning system to protect my body. A 24 hour postural care plan is fundamental to my wellbeing and quality of life. The Children's Kit will provide me with everything I need to be supported.
