We are looking to provide four new Acheeva Beds for Green Fold Special School in Bolton. These are unique work stations that allow children with physical disabilities like Scoliosis and Hip dysplasia or Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD) to lie in a supported, balanced posture while participating in classroom learning activities.
An Acheeva Bed is compact and easily moveable, and its angle and height are adjustable, enabling the pupil to be at eye-level with their classmates, which increases their sense of inclusion. The design of the bed also has benefits for staff as it reduces back strain when moving and handling.
Many pupils at Green Fold live with daily pain due to delayed or cancelled operations post-Covid and the Acheevas we have previously provided give these children greater comfort and relaxation. The school is expanding its pupil numbers and they want to ensure every child has regular access to an Acheeva when they need one.
