✨ Could your child benefit from Assistive Technology (AT)?

Assistive Technology can make a meaningful difference when a child needs extra support to participate in everyday life. It may be beneficial if:

💚 A child is expected to complete a task but is unable to do so independently.
💚 A parent or carer is providing ongoing physical assistance with mobility or activities of daily living.
💚 A child or family has a goal that requires additional support to achieve.
💚 Equipment can help maintain musculoskeletal health, optimise positioning, or prevent deterioration over time.

At Stepping Forward Therapy Services, we believe every child deserves equipment that supports their unique goals, abilities, and lifestyle.

Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists provide comprehensive Assistive Technology (AT) assessments and equipment prescription, taking an individualised approach to ensure the best fit for each child.

We carefully consider:
🪑 Seating AT to optimise posture, comfort, and participation throughout the day.
🧍 Standing AT to support positioning, weight-bearing, and opportunities to engage with others.
🦽 Mobility AT to maximise safe, efficient movement and independence across home, school, and community settings.
⚽ Recreation AT to enable children to play, explore, and participate in the activities they enjoy.

Every recommendation is guided by a thorough assessment, evidence-based practice, and collaboration with families, educators, and support teams-because the right equipment isn’t just about function; it’s about creating opportunities for participation, independence, and quality of life.

💚 Helping children step forward with confidence, one solution at a time.

Every child deserves the chance to move, play, and build confidence in a way that feels safe and supported. 💙

Our ceiling hoist is one of the specialised pieces of equipment we use to help make that possible. Whether it’s supporting movement, making transfers easier, or creating opportunities for fun, engaging therapy, it’s another way we can tailor sessions to each child’s unique needs and goals.
