These disorders usually appear during the first three years of life, affecting the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non- verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. The Island Chair, although initially designed to ease back pain and for relaxation, has proven to have a positive influence on autistic children and even children with cerebral palsy (see Testimonials). When autistic children have their temper tantrums and meltdowns, they can crawl into the Island Chair, which calmes them down, due to the cradling effect the chair has on them. Of course, we at Island Chairs are very happy over this unexpected "side effect" and hope that many parents and schools for special needs children will take advantage of this wonderful device.
