o

 wash should be used, and they can be tumble dried. The foam 

inside has a special lining that allows the skin to breathe. This lining 

should not be removed. The other cushions can be wiped clean with a 

damp cloth. 

 

 

SUMMARY 

 

Children need to feel secure (physically and emotionally) before they are 

able to be active, sleep or play happily. The Chailey Standing Support will 

help with this by providing a biomechanically correct position and 

boundaries within which movement can be experienced and learned in a 

positive way. The Chailey Standing Support is one part of a 24-hour 

postural management programme that may include seating, a lying 

support, active movement (such as horse riding) and hands-on treatment.
