Description
The TherAdapt Odyssey Chair is a multifunctioning and highly adjustable chair designed to meet the needs of physically challenged children not only today but in the future as well. There are two sizes available: Early Childhood and Secondary. As an added benefit there is an Upgrade Kit package available that allows the Early Childhood Chair to grow to a Secondary size chair without purchasing a whole new chair!
The modular concept provides multiple options and adjustments with tremendous "growth" potential. It is an ideal chair for evaluation, treatment, and seating intervention in the home, school, or clinic setting. The easy adjustability of the chair can meet the changing needs of the user over the years.
Testimonials:
"We have so many wonderful things to say about TherAdapt. Their special needs equipment is very well crafted and extremely durable. Their expert therapists and technicians help families identify the most appropriate equipment and components. They even problem-solve with families to customize components that meet individual needs.
Over the years, our daughter has used both the TherAdapt Odyssey Chair and TherAdapt Vertical Stander with great satisfaction. We purchased the Early Childhood size Odyssey Chair for her 8 years ago when she was 4, and bought the Secondary size Upgrade Kit 3 years later when she was 7. She is now 12, and while her Odyssey Chair is still holding up wonderfully, she is maxing out of it due to growth. Because the Odyssey Chair has worked so well for her – due to its ease of adjustability and ability to wheel from place to place – we spoke with a TherAdapt physical therapist to inquire whether an even larger growth kit might be available. This therapist was extremely eager to work with us, and quickly problem-solved the sizing issue with her technicians in order to customize a growth kit to meet our daughter’s growth and positioning needs.
We appreciate TherAdapt’s wonderful expertise and customer service!" -- Geri B.
Features
The sides of the chair are constructed of laminated phenolic to withstand years of use. The wooden seat is height adjustable within the chair to allow it to be positioned low for self transfers, at a mid-range height to use at a school desk or play table, or up high as a feeding chair at the kitchen or dining room table. The seat is also depth and angle adjustable for individualized therapeutic pelvic and lower extremity positioning. The height and depth adjustable back can also be angled 30º back in space.
***Warning: This chair is as stable as a typical kitchen chair or baby highchair. However, if your child self-stimulates using vestibular movements (rocking back and forth), this product might not be the best choice to meet the child's needs.***
