Features

Use the slides below to learn more about the features of the Compass Chair.

Extreme Durability

Children with vestibular or tactile hyposensitivity may exhibit movement-seeking or sensory-seeking behavior. The Compass Chair is designed and tested to withstand continuous rocking movements.

Lateral Support

Children with autism-spectrum disorder can benefit from gentle boundaries for emotional and sensory security. The raised sides of the seat together with the armrests provide reassuring physical borders for relaxed sitting.

Tilt

Shorten the rear legs to add more recline, and assist a child to slide to the back of the seat with a gravity-assisted cue to remain seated in the chair. Shorten the front legs to add a forward tilt to contribute to postural control, access to a table or desk, and a more attentive, focused sitting position.

Armrests

High armrests provide upper body support and aid in transfer.

Height-adjustable legs

The legs allow the seat height to be fine-tuned for optimal positioning. Front and rear legs adjust separately.

Components

Use the slides below to learn more about the components of the Compass Chair.
