Dealing with a child that has special needs can be a challenge. I've been on this journey for a few years now and we have learnt a little along the way. I'd love to share some of the things I have done to help improve the quality of life for our son Daniel. I hope that I may be able to help others in a similar situation.
My wife and I are often frustrated by the expense involved in obtaining the required equipment for Daniel. In South Africa, purchasing equipment can be a very costly exercise, often beyond the means of most of our population. Many of the devices are imported and are therefore very expensive. As an avid DIY'er and hobby carpenter, I've build some devices myself, often at very little cost.
I'm more than happy to share these so that others may copy what I've done.
Below are some of the things I've done so far.
- Wooden Standing Frame
- Wooden Long Sitting Chair
- Bicycle Modification - Ultra stable, Fixed cog.
- Parallel Bars
- Wheelchair ramp
- Potty Chair
- Adjustable Table
If you need any more information on any of the above, just send me an email and I'm happy to help where I can.
