Confidence Begins at Home with Soft Play

This week I have had two conversations with customers who were looking to set up home play spaces for their children. One child was vision impaired, with low spatial awareness who needed assistance with the development of their gross motor skills. Her daughter generally lacked confidence, which isn’t at all unusual for a child still adapting to their disability and was fearful playing outdoors and especially in playgrounds where there were other children and unusual surroundings. The other child had no lower limb movement i.e. a form of paraplegia that rendered her son mostly immobile and confiding him to a wheelchair for periods of time. Her son had a similar circumstance when it came to lacking confidence with any attempt to move outdoors and the outdoor equipment unsuitable for her son’s needs.
