Darla is a 2-year-old student with spina bifida. She cannot sit on the floor with her playmates at her daycare to play with toys. What accommodation do you recommend for Darla?
  1. Position Darla in side lying on the floor using bolsters or pillows.
  2. Position Darla in a floor sitter, such as a universal corner chair.
  3. Either A or B.
  4. Position Darla on an adjustable bench that is close to the floor.
Explanation
Answer: C. You recommend that Darla be positioned in side lying or in a floor sitter to play with toys. Her spina bifida is severe enough that her upper body postural control is compromised on something without support, such as a bench. She will require the upper body support that is provided in either a side-lying position or floor sitter.
