Wheelchair Rocking Table
The West Midlands Panel of Remap was approached by a local academy that caters for many children who are wheelchair users and severely disabled.

The problems were the cost of the product, the shipping costs, and the fact that the product was not available in the U.K.
The product provided a rocking table on which a wheelchair could sit. Movements by the wheelchair use would then cause the table to rock back and forth in the same manner as a rocking horse.
