Inclusive Seesaw

Description

• Inclusive Seesaw is a device whose aim is to ensure the possibility of simultaneous fun for non-disabled persons and users in wheelchairs. It is a device with a therapeutic and fun function at the same time.

• No outside help is needed to use the device. Only people on the device can operate the swing.

• The movable combination of the platform for a disabled person in a wheelchair with the platform for an able-bodied person allows the platform for a wheelchair user to maintain the same position in relation to the ground. This affects the safety of use because it reduces the risk of falling off the platform while playing. The device also has an additional structure that prevents the stroller from moving while swinging.

• The device, apart from having fun, gives the opportunity to exercise the upper limbs, as well as improve sensory integration and proprioception. For children with disabilities, the swing offers the possibility of vestibular stimulation.

• The maximum allowed number of people to be on the swing at one time:

- 1 non-disabled person + 1 person in a wheelchair

- 2 non-disabled people + 1 person in a wheelchair

- 4 people without disabilities

• The device complies with the EN 1176 standard.

• The device complies with the principles of universal design, i.e. available to all users - both able-bodied and disabled.
