NewsCheck out Niketan’s tip sheets on Shokkhom

At Niketan, we believe that parents and caregivers are the best experts when it comes to their child. To provide them with the best possible support, Niketan is developing a series of practical tip sheets that are published on the Shokkhom knowledge platform.

These tip sheets are specifically designed to inform and guide parents in their daily lives with their child. They cover a wide range of topics and assistive devices, such as:

  • Mobility aids: information on, for instance, standing tables, corner chairs and splints.
  • Communication: practical guidance on using communication aids.
  • Independence: helpful adaptations and exercises to teach a child to eat independently.

What is in a tip sheet?

Each tip sheet provides clear answers to the most important questions. For each topic, it explains exactly what the assistive device or adaptation is, what it is used for, which children it is suitable for, and how to use it safely and correctly.

With these tip sheets, Niketan aims to bring practical knowledge directly into the family home, so parents can confidently take steps to encourage their child’s independence, mobility and development.
