According to HSE statistics*, the estimated prevalence of physical disability among children stands at a mere 0.5%. Remarkably, this indicates that approximately 3.5% of the entire child population, consisting of those attending a Children’s Disability Network Team (CDNT) and grappling with complex needs, will encounter physical disabilities. This encompassing term encompasses a spectrum, ranging from conditions like cerebral palsy to those originating from genetic, metabolic, or brain-related disorders, as well as injuries sustained during childhood.
A formidable challenge faced by multidisciplinary CDNT teams revolves around securing seating solutions that offer comprehensive postural support, tailor-made to address the intricate needs of each child.
