Working with special needs children and adults in the classroom, clinic, or home environment can be a challenging task. Professionals must think ahead to ensure client comfort and safety. Patients who are squirming and thrashing about can be difficult to manage during personal care or therapy situations. Professionals may have difficulty lifting children and adults on and off of equipment. Special needs individuals need extra support to comfort them during these times of the day when they must keep their bodies still. The quality of therapy is compromised if the patient is not mentally and physically comfortable. Changing tables and therapy tables that are specially designed to prevent such problems can assist professionals in providing quality care.

Assist Tables produces four different kinds of changing tables for Special Needs that are suitable for different patients. Each type of table is constructed with a mechanism to raise the patient on the table. All four models are upholstered and comfortable. The Basic model is available with a hydraulic or electric lift.
