New term, new independence

This year’s school holidays have been one of the sunniest ever giving everyone the chance to enjoy great times outdoors with friends and family. This feeling of freedom, as we all know, is essential for a child’s development and equally as important when back to school. With the new academic year upon us, now’s the perfect time to think about your mobility equipment and does it really ensure barrier-free learning? In this month’s blog, we highlight a popular selection of paediatric products proven to help get your kids to school and benefit from greater inclusion behind a desk and in the playground.
