It helped her healing process so tremendously, that she decided to market it worldwide. After selling many of the chairs to adults, just as a very relaxing and comfortable hanging chair, Ursula began receiving reports and testimonials from schools and other facilities, which stated that her Island Chair was also being used very successfully with autistic children and those with cerebral palsy.
