Corner Seat

The challenge

Provide seated support to promote proper posture, increase stability, and improve functional skills for play, learning, and social interaction.

Who it helps

For people with a limited range in mobility and minimal control of their core.

How it works

The chair will provides external support for children with inadequate postural control of the neck, head, and trunk. Due to its shape, the chair can prevent Zander from falling sideways and help him maintain a neutral spine with minimal support.
