School stools for a short pupil
We have been asked to modify 3 stools for a secondary school who have a very short pupil entering Year7
Little people
Toilet transfer stool
Stable transfer stool enables a girl with the brittle bone disease to use toilet independently.
Toilet Steps
A five year old girl had inherited the dwarfism gene from her father giving her a reduced stature. She was having difficulty accessing the toilet in the family bathroom because of its height. There were also difficulties related to the dimensions of the bathroom which was not large.
Opening a kitchen window
Locking handles on kitchen windows are a problem.
Light Switch Adaptation
A wall mounted adaptation to allow a height impaired person to operate a standard light switch from lower down, without the need for rewiring or use of “smart” lighting.
Activity Board

Step-up platform
21-month-old Sebby with achondroplasia (short stature) cannot use standard steps etc to access sinks, toilets and worktops. His mother is having to hold him so that he can wash his hands, etc. and she would like him to be able to do these things safely by himself.
