Due to overwhelming interest, the redesigned Compass Chair by Rifton, a company specializing in adaptive solutions in the US, caters to the unique requirements of children with mild disabilities in educational or therapeutic environments.
The chair comes in five different sizes, ranging from very small to young adult, ensuring a perfect fit for children of various ages and sizes. Additionally, it features a 2-inch height adjustment in each size, enhancing its versatility to accommodate children of different heights.
To support varying needs for posture and comfort, either the chair's front or back legs can be adjusted independently, allowing for the adjustment of the chair's recline. This feature is especially useful for caregivers looking to encourage either active engagement or relaxation in children. Each leg offers three height settings, and they can be adjusted separately for precise customization.
The Compass Chair by Rifton focuses on inclusive design, offering sensory boundaries that help direct the child’s attention forward, ensuring they remain secure and comfortable.
For added safety, the chair includes non-slip textures, perfect for children who tend to move around a lot. Additionally, for those prone to extreme movement or 'riding' the chair, rear stability feet are available, which offer the same level of adjustability as the regular legs. Research indicates that individuals on the autism spectrum particularly benefit from the Compass Chair's ability to provide gentle boundaries. The raised seat edges and the full, robust armrests help concentrate their focus forward, offering a reassuring, supportive environment for their upper body. Moreover, the Compass Chair is not only durable but also features an elegant, understated design that easily integrates into any classroom or therapeutic setting.
