In an ever-evolving society, language plays a pivotal role in shaping our perceptions and attitudes. When it comes to discussing disabilities, the words we choose can have a profound impact, positive or negative, on people and their communities.

Wherever it is in the country that you practice, it is likely that the funding of sleep systems is very erratic. But why should this be?
Along with Seating, Standing and Walking, Supine postural supports (sleep systems) are a key component of a child’s 24-hour postural management programme but unfortunately, they are given much less recognition, research or reimbursement than the others.

Whilst we hadn’t considered it before, toileting was definitely something that would make a big difference to all of our lives. By that point, we were planning days out around nappy changes and changes of clothes, and it was becoming increasingly hard to find suitable changing facilities for a tall, growing boy. However, we had no preconceptions or expectations about how things would go - it was simply a case of opening up that opportunity and letting Jaxon take the lead.

The way we view childhood disability is changing. As physiotherapists, we are being encouraged to shift our attention away from purely addressing a child’s body structure and function (that is interventions which focus on muscle length or strength) to a more holistic approach - one which understands how the child participates at home, at school and in their community.
We work closely with over 20+ global partners who distribute the Leckey family of products throughout the world.
