Rare Disease Day on 28 February raises awareness for people affected by rare diseases. 🎇
Ida has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 live births. We took Rare Disease Day as an opportunity to talk to her mum Stefanie and gained some moving insights.
Stefanie tells us how she found out that Ida has a rare disease. She also shares what advice she would give to families who have gone through similar experiences:
Finding the right supportive seating is a team effort. 🩵 From the first concerns to assessment, trial, funding and final set-up—parents, therapists and product specialists work together so your child can sit comfortably, safely, and take part in everyday life.
What matters most to you when choosing seating support? 💬

Curtain up for the Blue for Angels campaign. 🩵👼
This campaign, initiated by parents of affected children, aims to raise awareness of Angelman syndrome and to collect donations for research. Medical developments related to Angelman syndrome are currently making noticeable progress and offer well-founded hope for future treatment options.
The condition is largely unknown to the general public, and affected families often experience misunderstanding or a lack of support. Greater visibility is therefore crucial—for affected children, their families, and public awareness of this rare condition.
💡Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder associated, among other things, with severe intellectual and motor impairments, lack of speech, and often epilepsy.
We’re happy to help make Angelman syndrome a little more visible today by sharing a Schuchmann-blue post. In line with this, we received these wonderful photos from families whose children live with the syndrome and use our assistive devices.

➡️What is the therapy chair used for, and for how long?
For over 40 years, we have been manufacturing therapy chairs for children and adolescents with disabilities🩵. But what should I consider when choosing the right therapy chair for my child?
This structured approach helps parents better understand the many aspects of a therapy chair and make the right choice for their child.🧒
In the past, there were isolated cases where the armrests on smilla. slipped under load.
This feedback was directly incorporated into further development. We listened and upgraded!✅
➡️The new armrest 2.0 is made of glass fibre reinforced plastic, making it extremely robust, and durable.🐘💪

If a child cannot sit independently at around one year of age, a therapy chair is essential. ✅
It enables participation in everyday family life👨👩👧👦, supports development, and provides exactly the right amount of support – adaptable, stabilising and functional.💪
Thanks to individual adjustment options and grow-with-the-child features, it provides exactly the support the child needs – no more and no less.🩵
Our team has started the new year full of energy 💪. We’re looking forward to many exciting projects and inspiring encounters—for example, at one of our trade fair appearances this year.

It is a matter close to our hearts to support children with individual requirements as optimally as possible – using products which are just as individual as you are.
What inspires us
The reason we have focused our efforts on childrens´ rehabilitation equipment hat its origins in our own family. We have first-hand experience and completely understand the challenges associated with a severly handicapped person with multiple disabilities.
When Miriam´s sister was young the develpoment of rehabilitation equipment was at a early stage. Her parents knew what they could improve in order to facilitate in everday life, and a business concept was born.
What we inspire.
Our aim is to support children with disabilities so that they can become more mobile and independent. At the same time, our task has more far-reaching implications. Meanwhile our 100-man team works closely with specialist dealers, doctors and therapists so that we can truly understand the requirements of the children and their families. An extremely moving process for all those involved.
Our products represent more than just products. They become companions for life. And last of all, we want to get the market moving – with real innovations in rehabilitation equipment which fulfil the maximum demands on functionality, design and safety.
