Wow, he's doing awesome! Is that a "gait trainer" or "walker"? I'm thinking about designing one for my son Jack, who will be 2 in April, since they're so expensive to buy. He's nowhere near ready to walk around like Sidney is though.

Walker. Very expensive raising someone with a disibility. Where we live (BC) Sidney's need's are taken care of: medical is covered (every Rx), formula... physical therepy, speech therepy...a team follows him. A social worker is assigned to him nd plays as liaison between everyone. special equipment is either "loaned" for whatever length of time needed or given to...but of course you return if it is not being used. Wheelchairs, walkers, high-low bases, standing frames...

Great to see a child enjoying walking and having such fun! What type of walker is it - I have never seen it in the UK?

[kirkykirk]

It's a "Mulholland".

Thank you for sharing the video with us.

We never seen a walker like this beofre. Where can we get more details is there a website we can refer to?

We live in Sri Lanka and we have a son who has Cerebral Palsy and is 4 years old now. He cannot sit or walk at the moment.

Thanks

God that looks so much fun:) What beautiful children. This video made me laugh so hard. I especially felt it, when Audrey didn't wanna get caught, feel her excitement. That's what life is all about:)

Even though Audrey is young, I am pretty sure her intention of using Sids other walker was to be supportive of him. It's amazing what children will do for their siblings. Sid is so gorgeous. You have such beautiful children!

the hayes family should look into that walker for rebecca. they have the show table for 12.

indeed your son is a champ! i have a 3 y/o son who also has cerebral palsy, he walks with support. i would love to have one of those walkers for my son miguel but here in the philippines, the gov't gives very little priority to people with disability. sidney is very lucky that he receives everything that he needs and the gov't helps you with this. hugs to your little hero =)

My wife has a similar walker! She is 34 yrs old. She says it's alot of work, but worth it to stimulate her lower muscles
