Meet Tara
Tara is a smiley 3 year old who lives in the Special Needs Unit at New Life Homes in Kenya.
In the picture she is celebrating her birthday. Her only seating option was an old push chair which didn’t support her properly. This kept her in a low position so she couldn’t interact with the other children.
Now in her new chair, supplied by Physionet, she is correctly positioned and her posture is much better controlled. She is at the same level as the other children and so is able to engage with social activity around her. The attached tray means she can have toys placed within reach. Improved posture and height also means that feeding is easier for her caregivers.
