The Stander

Help Me Grow left us with a new tool to use with Jaron. It's a device that keeps him upright in a standing position to work on his balance and muscles needed for standing. He is such a busy boy that doesn't typically happen, so they thought this would be helpful for him as he learns to stand and walk. 

The first time we used it, he hated it, cried, and tried to escape. 

The second time, I had the idea to put it on a table so he could look out the window at the animals. That worked like a charm! 

He spent a good 15 to 20 minutes looking at all the animals outside. I took him out, and about 5 minutes later he wanted to get back in to look at the animals some more! So we did.
