Leckey Squiggles Standing System

  • Standing

    • 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
