Dainy is a smiley, 7-year old girl. She has an older brother and sister. Dainy has difficulty holding up her head and sitting because her cerebral palsy affects her muscle tone and balance. Dainy has been wearing leg braces (AFOs) for several years so she can practice standing upright in her standing frame, but sitting has always been a problem. Today she received her bright green seating system. This gives her a secure base of support so she can use her arms for playing with her toys and hands-free sitting. Secured in her seat with support straps, Dainy is able to sit nice and straight. Her chair has caster wheels so it can be moved around the tiled floor in her house and at school, and the tray swings away to so it is easy to correctly align her torso. Her parents are also happy because she can sit independently now for eating and for school work. Do you see the elephant in the chair? Look closely! Dainy is looking forward to getting some of her own stickers to really make this her special chair.
