Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
Individuals with poor posture often require specialized seating to support them as much as possible. If you’re looking for specialized seating outside of a wheelchair, car seat, etc., check out the P-Pod chair!
The P-Pod from Columbia Medical, is a bean-bag style activity positioning chair that allows children to sit in places and positions that might not be feasible otherwise! According to Columbia Medical, “The P-Pod offers a whole different seating experience for those with specialized seating needs and is great for a range of ages from infants to young adults.” The P in the product’s name stands for postural, and “postural support technology is a fundamental part of this design.”
The P-Pod features three major components:
– The seat
– The bolster support
– And the bean bag
The chair is available in red, blue, green, pink, and purple. Visit columbiamedical.com http://www.columbiamedical.com/ to learn more!
