The importance of head control for Wizzybug 🧒 We want all children who use a Wizzybug powered wheelchair to be able to drive it safely and without any negative impact on their health. This means that a child must be able to support their head and, if it does drop, be able to lift it up again. This will ensure that a child can have fun using Wizzybug without any risks. If you’d like to refer a child for a Wizzybug then we would recommend reading through the user requirements on our website to double check the details and, if in doubt, give us a shout! Email us on wizzybug@designability.org.uk or call 01225 824103 #Wizzybug #PaediatricMobility #DesignForDisability

When it comes to helping children get through hospital stays, play isn't just a chance to relax - it's a game changer! After all, kids just want to be kids, even when their complex health condition or treatment has them stuck in hospital. Research has found that therapeutic play can contribute positively to children's physical and emotional wellbeing and help to reduce the negative emotions children might experience during hospitalisation. For students who are missing school, play can be a chance to reconnect to their friends and the familiar environment of school. Some benefits of hospital play include: - Connection with the familiar, friendly environment of home and a sense of normalcy and comfort in a scary place - Helps children maintain confidence, self-esteem, and feel in control of the situation. - Can help with their learning about procedures in an age-appropriate way. Organisations like #starlightchildrensfoundation have been at the forefront of using play to improve children's lives in hospital, and we love seeing how they use play to change children's lives. You can read more about the benefits of play during hospital stays in the referenced article. #seenandheard #IfImissedschool #missingschool #sickkids #telepresencerobots #techforgood #impactinglives #socialimpact #socialgood #schoolconnection #friends #teachers
