This isKai's new "stander." It allows him to bear weight on his legs while supporting his body. I got a picture as the OT was adjusting it to Kai's specifications. He didn't like it at first and got really upset, but once all was said and done, he calmed down and was okay with it. The only problem is that it doesn't have any side head support, so his head flops over when he moves it. He gets to stand in it for five minutes in the morning and the evening, to start with, then we will gradually increase the time.
Kai loves to use his legs! He is constantly pushing on anything he can, so this is a great thing for him. He would be a total walker by now if he could just get his head support down. It would be so fun to see this little guy cruising around, but it would definitely pose some unique challenges with all his cords! :-)
