Story
My Granddaughter has Cerebral Palsy she is now 5 an a half, when she had treatment they used a Pikler triangle or similar named product. So I decided to make her one to use for continued therapy at home, there are limits to hospital treatment, so the more she does at home the more she benefits. I make these free of charge through donations to my charitable organisation to help young children with disabilities, and with there physical development, using the equipment at home. I am making these for any disabled children who would benefit from using my equipment. The Pikler Triangle was developed by Hungarian paediatrician Dr. Emmi Pikler over 100 years ago. She believed kids should explore the pikler triangle on their own terms. If they can climb it, they should be able to do so freely. I have designed an will be making walking bars, walking/standing ladders and seat benches, every child deserves a chance to walk, improve there mobility and build there strength
Pikler triangle provides many benefits to children, some of these are:
Gross motor development.
Proprioception
Grasping
Confidence
Balance
Benefits associated with risky play
Any donation would be much appreciated no matter how small
