Frequently asked questions
Does this cushion help improve a child's posture?
Yes, the CanDo Balance Wedge is specifically engineered to promote active sitting. By requiring the child to engage their core muscles to maintain balance, it helps them develop and maintain a healthy, upright posture while seated.
Can I adjust the firmness of the wedge?
Absolutely. Because the wedge is inflatable, you can easily inflate or deflate it to customize the level of instability and firmness. This allows you to tailor the seat to the specific therapy goals or progress of the child.
Is this cushion suitable for sensory-seeking children?
Yes, this wedge is an excellent tool for children who require extra sensory input. The surface features a grid-like pattern of tactile, rounded nubs that provide consistent sensory feedback and vestibular stimulation while in use.
Can this be used for both dynamic and static sitting?
Yes, it effectively bridges the gap between both. It provides the versatility to support active (dynamic) movement while also serving as a stable base for static positioning when fully inflated to the user’s preference.
Is the material durable for daily use?
The wedge is constructed from high-quality, durable rubber. It is designed for repeated, long-term use in demanding environments such as classrooms or home therapy settings.
Is it easy to move the cushion between rooms?
Yes, it is very portable. It measures 10 x 10 inches and includes a molded cutout handle on one side, making it simple for children or caregivers to carry it between classrooms or different locations in the home.
What is the primary purpose of the wedge shape?
The wedge design is specifically crafted to help children assume and maintain a healthy sitting position. It acts as a therapeutic tool to improve coordination, balance, and core engagement during seated activities.
Is this intended only for pediatric use?
Yes, this specific model is designed as a pediatric vestibular support tool. Its dimensions (10 x 10 inches) are tailored to suit the size and needs of children.
Does the surface provide good grip?
The cushion surface is covered in a grid-like pattern of tactile, rounded nubs. These nubs serve a dual purpose: they provide excellent grip so the child stays securely seated, and they offer beneficial sensory feedback.
Is the wedge ready to use out of the box?
The product arrives as a factory-new unit. Please note that as an inflatable tool, you may need to adjust the air level upon arrival to reach your desired firmness for the child’s specific comfort and support needs.
