this would be great for balance skills and FUN!!!
I really like how you made it into a vehicle. Very respectful.
Well done!! Well done.

I think that furniture and play stuff for handi cap kids is few and far between…..this may be a product you could mass produce and sell…...yoda
p.s. very well thought out.

Great Job, this one was worth every minute of your time. I bet the child really enjoys it…

Excellent job for a good cause.

Excellent work and creativity.

You have asked for suggestions so here goes. You might consider in the future to include in your design tactile stimulation for any child with disabilities. An example might be that the rocking chair front truck look continue throughout the design so the child may feel parts on the chair. You might include a headrest, seatbelt, and possibly a moving device that is responsive to the child when they do something.

I had thought of a noise producing item but that may produce more negative feedback if the parents turn it off when they have had enough.

Your question asking for suggestions might also be addressed to a college program or class dedicated to future special education teachers combined with future technology students, and even art students. I know that my former students felt a great sense of pride when they produced cabinets after class and weekends for a Ronald McDonald house.

Now that is worth while woodworking.
Nice job.

Agreed, the time & thought you put into this will likely make a huge impact in the world of a child who really needs it. God bless you for doing this.
