Walking Aids












            Jane  (not  her  real  name)  is  3 years  old  and  she  has  West  Syndrome.  She  spends
            approximat ely  30  minut es  in  t he  walker  a  day,  f or  now .  (We  are  st ill  working on

            st rengt hening her legs). We find it ’s very easy t o get  her in and out  of  t he walker.


            The biggest  change t he walker has made f or Jane is t hat  she is more mobile now;
            she  can  cross  t he  room  wit h  ease, which  is  huge  f or  us, considering she  never

            had  much  int erest  in  rolling  or  crawling.  Jane  also  enjoys  being  upright  at  t he
            same  level  as  her  sist er  when  she’s  running around.  The  walker  will  also  be  a
            great  benefit  f or  Jane next  year when she st art s kindy.
