Leckey Squiggles Standing System

Description

Squiggles Stander gives children the support and independence they need to be able to join in, have fun and take in a whole new view of the world.

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

Inclusion Possibilities

• Increase opportunities 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 for 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 appropriate timeframes for use
• Educators need to plan how standing frames will be used within the care environment to maximise children’s participation in the program and interaction with peers
