By Quantum Rehab Australia
At Quantum Rehab, we believe mobility should grow with every child. That’s why our paediatric power chair solutions are designed to support early independence, customisable development, and long-term outcomes.
From the first moments of movement, mobility empowers children to explore, engage, and thrive — and our goal is to make that journey possible with tailored, growth-ready technology.
Purpose-Built Power for Paediatrics
Our mobility systems aren’t just smaller versions of adult chairs — they’re designed specifically for children’s unique anatomical and developmental needs.
🔹 Tailored Seat Pan Options With seat widths as narrow as 12”, we offer a secure and supportive fit for even the smallest users.
🔹 Growth-Ready Seating Our modular systems adapt as a child grows, supporting function and posture at every stage.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Giving children access to powered mobility early on opens the door to critical developmental gains.
✅ Exploration & Spatial Awareness: Helps children interact with and learn from their environment.
✅ Social Interaction: Supports peer inclusion and social skill development.
✅ Cognitive & Emotional Growth: Encourages autonomy, confidence, and decision-making.
✅ Postural Support & Skin Protection: Promotes comfort and reduces risk of pressure injuries.
✅ Prevention of Secondary Delays: Early mobility reduces developmental delays linked to immobility.
Mobility is more than movement — it’s the gateway to play, learning, and connection.
Alternate Controls & Switch Access
Not ready for a joystick? No problem. Our full range of alternative drive controls meets each child where they are — and grows with them.
🟢 Switch Access & Cause-and-Effect Learning: Using switches or proximity sensors helps children learn that “my action creates movement” — a vital step in early cognitive development.
🟢 Progression Ready: From head arrays to sip-n-puff and touchpads, input methods can be adapted over time.
🟢 Learning Through Movement: Every activation supports growth, engagement, and confidence.
Tips for Prescribers & Families
- Start with Ability, Not Age: If a child can activate a switch, they can begin.
- Plan for Growth: Choose seating and bases that adapt without full replacement.
- Make it Fun: Use play-based learning during trials.
- Lean on Support: Work with Quantum’s clinical team to find the best setup.
- Choose the Right Environment: Open, safe spaces encourage confidence.
