Umaru's special chair...

I promised in my last newsletter that I'd post some photos of Umaru's chair so here they are...

Doesn't he look great? The table encourages him to use his hands to not only play, but to support his body too.
Abu is especially proud of this chair since it is the first one he has measured, designed and fitted for himself, with me just double checking the details. So well done Abu too!



The chair can be tilted back to allow Umaru a better chance to keep his body and head upright. This tilting mechanism is hard to make, but our skilled carpenter Allusan does a great job balancing the tilt and safety.


Umaru's family are happy to finally give their son a chance to sit upright, and Umaru will even dance with a huge grin to show us just how much he loves his new chair too!!
