Oakland Stairlifts Announce Their Research Into Children With Disabilities Getting Around At Home

Online, September 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Disabled Living Foundation has conducted a study that reveals that there are around 770,000 children with disabilities who are under the age of 16 in the United Kingdom. This is the equivalent of 1 child in 20 having some sort of disability. This means that one child for every group of twenty is affected in some way, and is then limited. These limits can be made less with the use of breakthrough help and simple measures.

For these children, if they are affected by a motor disability, they can find it more difficult to make their way around their homes than a child without a disability would. This is where the assistance of people and machines alike can give that child the same, or similar, advantages that a child without disabilities is used to.

Oakland Stairlifts are a company that supply a wide range of stair lifts, suitable for people of any age and walk of life. If there is need of a stairlift, in order to aid a child with a disability, then Oakland Stairlifts will have the correct stair lift for the situation. They supply a wide range of stairlifts, some of which are suitable for unusual stair cases.

Providing a child with a disability, the means to move around their home freely, can increase their confidence. Installing a stair lift in to the home can be beneficial to both the child and the carer, as it ensures that the child can ascend and descend the stairs safely. Stairlifts can be equipped with seatbelts, meaning there is no possibility of the child falling from the chair.

For children with disabilities who have a wide range of movement, and are hindered mostly with problems in the leg, a stairlift can be just the thing to instil the confidence and independence in them that every child deserves. Oakland Stairlifts recognise their broad range of customers, and serves every customer as fairly and respectably as they deserve.
