Description
The Crawler can aid in helping your child with learning the movements of crawling. This can also be used in a therapy situation for children with visual impairment, low vision, sensory processing issues and children who are developmentally challenged. The crawler is designed to also assist children to play in a prone (face down) position.
This piece of equipment has been designed to facilitate the development of fine and gross motor skills, including upper body strength and head control. It can be adjusted for crawler support, so your child’s knees and hands are on the floor, encouraging independent movement. Whilst your child is actively at play using the crawler they are further strengthening their muscles and coordination required for sitting, crawling and reaching.
A key benefit of using a crawler is to encourage and assist a child in bringing their hands and objects to the midline for play, something difficult for children with weakness or impairment on one side.
While using the crawler your child can kick against an Essef Board to develop leg strength, or they can play with objects placed on a Resonance Board to develop upper body strength.
Adjustability
The crawler is height adjustable by loosening the side hand wheels and adjusting the height and is also width adjustable. It is fitted with lockable castors for easy movement and use in therapy. For the maximum width setting, the material support measures 400mm wide x 290mm deep and adjusts from a low height of 280mm up to 430mm. The width adjusts from 350mm to 400mm.
We can customise this equipment to suit your specific needs.
Finish and Colour Choice
The Crawler is made of high-quality plywood and a material support of your choice in colour for maximum user comfort.
