Adaptive Furniture
Adaptive furniture is used by people with diverse needs, not just wheelchair users. For many reasons, students might require cushioned seats, chairs with lower lumbar support, chairs with or without arms, etc. But most importantly, adaptive classrooms ensure safety, help improve fine motor skill development, facilitate longer periods of concentration, and promote socialization - supporting students in their learning and engagement.
