Larry is a young child who needs support to stand or walk. SoonerStart referred Larry’s family to Oklahoma ABLE Tech’s Device Reutilization Program, which provided a pediatric gait trainer and an adaptive stroller.
The pediatric gait trainer assists Larry in learning to stand and walk on his own. The gait trainer functions as a walker and provides extra support and stabilization for the user. Larry has begun putting weight on his feet and moving around his environment independently when using the device.
The adaptive stroller allows Larry to leave home more easily and explore new places. The stroller also provides him with upper-body support and full-body positioning.
The Oklahoma ABLE Tech Device Reutilization Program provides Oklahomans of all ages with gently used durable medical equipment (DME) and assistive technology (AT). To learn more about the program and apply for DME, visit our website at https://bit.ly/3N3dUA1.
