Hypotonia

Just wanted to share these photos. We loaned Special Tomato chair from our PT. She sits nice and straight in it. She likes it, too.

I'm still not sure whether to get it through the ins, since our PT says this doesn't grow well and suggested Leckey. Ugh, decisions.

no idea about chair but just wanted to say how cute Ana is:)

((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Emma-

The Special Tomato system is so cool- We used one that belonged to our private PT also for a while. They are great! Much softer than they look in pictures..And your little one looks so straight and strong in it! I don't blame you for wanting one.. I don't know if your PT is right about them not "growing" well, though- I thought they were kind of infinitely adjustable specifically for growth-

I always look at a website called AdaptiveMall.com when I"m checking out products- they had a quote on the site that said- "The Special Tomato® Multi-Positioning Seat offers years of growth for your child. This unique design allows you to make simple adjustments to the Head & Back Cushions as your child grows. In addition, there are two Seat Cushion sizes allowing you to increase the seat width and depth for an average of 7 years of growth."

7 yrs of growth is pretty good for a seating system! And another plus- they come in PINK now!

Here is the link I was looking at- you can probably find the other system your PT was talking about on there too and do a direct comparison.... http://www.adaptivemall.com/specialtomato.html

Good luck- your little girl is adorable!
