Monkey by Jenx

The diagnosis of a child with special needs is often very upsetting for families who may struggle to come to terms with all that this can mean. Parents and carers can sometimes find it hard to accept the help and equipment their child needs at this difficult time.

With this in mind, the Jenx Monkey has been carefully styled to offer the best in early intervention support in a gentle, bright and friendly way. Parents often comment on the huge difference the thoughtful design of the Jenx Monkey has in helping them accept and use standing equipment for their very young children.

The chest and hip boards can be independently altered and fixed allowing you to exactly accommodate the proportions of each child.

There are many reasons why the Jenx Monkey is probably the most popular infant prone stander available! Monkey comes as a complete unit meaning that what you receive out of the box is ready to be easily set up (with very few adjustments required) for your child and start using!

Adjustable and Safe Hip & Chest Straps.

The innovative straps close in the centre and are adjusted at each end for length independently of each other. By adjusting the straps in this way you can ensure the child is positioned symmetrically – helping to keep them upright and comfortable and maximising the benefits of standing.

In addition, buckles and velcro mean that once adjusted correctly, the straps can be fixed making it difficult for siblings or classmates to tamper with and keeping everything looking neat and tidy!

Fully upholstered chest, hip and leg boards help make standing more comfortable for children, which helps to increase their tolerance of standing too. A happier and more comfortable child will spend longer standing and more time reaping the benefits of all standing offers.

Each child will have a slightly different posture in standing and need slightly different support. The angle of the support surface can be adjusted from 20° prone through to upright, 90°. And, because the adjustment is infinite, Monkey can be set to exactly the right angle for each individual child.

This means a child’s progress can be monitored and the angle of the board altered in line with changes in their ability.
