Early use of mobility aids can contribute to increased independence and participation in everyday life.
Scientific basis
Research clearly shows the connection between mobility and child development. Studies from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (2020) emphasize the importance of early mobility in promoting cognitive and motor development. Research from Galloway & Greer (2018) shows that children who use mobility aids early develop better social and physical skills later in life.
Early use of mobility aids
For children with disabilities, introducing mobility aids at an early stage can be crucial. Being able to move around on their own, even with aids, gives the child a sense of independence and control. Mobility aids can be adapted and developed in line with the child’s growth and needs to provide optimal support throughout their childhood.
