Children who benefit from soothing stimulation will love the Aspire Pediatric Glider from Broda, a manufacturer of high-quality chairs for individuals with mobility challenges. The Aspire was created to give children a safe and comfortable way to release their energy and promote focus and well-being.
The pediatric Aspire Glider chair, the children’s version of the adult Broda Tranquile glider, has an auto-locking and unlocking feature. This smart feature locks the chair into a stable position once a child shifts weight forward off the back of the seat, allowing a stationary surface to transfer safely. When coming to sitting back on the chair and putting weight through the back half of the seat, it automatically shifts the chair into glide mode.
The Aspire pediatric glider is perfect for individuals who benefit from continued motion, as it allows for improved concentration, focus, and calming benefits. The Aspire glider is beneficial for individuals with behavioral challenges, autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and other focus issues. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this glider chair is tailored to meet the unique requirements of children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome and various other conditions. BILD of Milwaukee is pleased to offer the Aspire Pediatric Glider, along with a vast selection of Broda chairs, as part of our mission to help clients achieve a safe, comfortable and independent environment.
Enhanced Comfort and Support
The Broda Aspire Pediatric Glider prioritizes comfort and support, ensuring that children can relax and focus on their activities while giving them a safe and soothing way to experience sensory input.
Its ergonomic design promotes proper posture and support, while its Comfort Tension Seating system reduces the risk of discomfort or pressure sores by evenly distributing weight and improving airflow. The gliding motion provides proprioceptive stimulation, which helps children stay calm, focused and engaged. It also may reduce the urge to wander.
Fostering Activity with the Aspire Pediatric Glider
One of the key advantages of the Broda Aspire Pediatric Glider is its ability to promote independence and engagement. By offering a comfortable and secure seating solution, this glider chair enables children to participate more actively in daily activities, whether playing, learning, or socializing.
Children will love the sense of independence they feel by controlling the gliding motion. They decide when to activate the gliding mechanism and with how much force, fostering a sense of autonomy and confidence in their abilities.
Whether used in therapy sessions or at home, this glider chair is valuable for promoting overall well-being and contentment.
Strong and Sturdy Construction
In addition to its comfort and functionality, the Broda Aspire Pediatric Glider was built to last. The 16-gauge powder-coated tubular steel frame can support up to 200 pounds and was designed to accommodate even the most active pediatric user. Caregivers can have peace of mind that their patients or loved ones will be safe and secure in this chair, even after years of use.
