1. People with autism have to think constantly about their posture because of all the vestibular distrubances.

One product may be helping to onstart trunk control! And it is these seats below...the BUMBO seats.



These are called bumbo seats which have been having sevral PT's and OT's ranting and raving about these because they help to initiate trunk control, which is important in Posture control and the back.

It also doubles as a bath seat!


PS: As parents should be warned, babies can have a tendancy to tip over in anything and should be supervised at all times. The Bumbo Seats had some bad news about some kids trying to get out of them when they were alone and fell backwards, but there wasn't supervision and Supervision is key in everything when it comes to a baby or young child. They still think the Bumbo seats are good for onstart of good posture! (With supervision of course)
