School Desks for Children with Disabilities


Whether your child is home-schooled or attends school in a public place, sitting at a desk that was created just for them and their own special needs has never made learning more fun!  Rehabmart offers a wide array of school desks and tables to satisfy every special need that your child requires.

For the youngest child, how about putting them behind the fun little School Activity Table?  This creative table is perfect for home, school and childcare facilities and can accommodate several children in a variety of seating systems and wheelchairs.

The white vinyl tabletop is super easy to clean and features four cutouts that enable children in wheelchairs to be closer to the table, and to feel more secured.  The red steel legs are height adjustable, also making it simple to accommodate different kinds of chairs.  Young children learn more easily and are less distracted when they can perform their schoolwork on a table designed just for them.

Another innovative choice for young children, or for those who do better sitting on the floor is the Floor Desk that is available in various sizes to ensure the right fit for your own special child.  The extra wide front opening enables easier access for the student, and also for the teacher or therapist to work with the student at the same time.

Height and angle adjustments of the reading and writing surfaces allow for three-dimensional activities and provide maximum comfort for reading.  This beautiful desk is made of real oak and handcrafted to be durable and tough-it can take a lot of abuse and will still last for many years to come.

The Rifton MultiDesk, Tilt or Non-Tilt Top is a great choice for just about any child, with or without disabilities!  This convenient and flexible desk is totally adjustable to fit the needs of your child.  The table top comes in two sizes and you can also choose between the flat top or the tilt-top.  The legs of the table are height-adjustable and the best part is that you don't need any tools to make the adjustments!  The Snap-On Edges help hold small items on the desk that may be likely to roll off and these also snap on or off without the use of tools, making it easy for the child to decide to use these or not at any time.

The Rifton MultiDesk with the Tilt top also features a hardwood book ledge in front so that pencils and paper don't slide off the desk.  Accessories also include 3 Inch Book Boxes that can be quickly and easily added to either side of any style MultiDesk and are open on the top for easier access, leaving valuable knee space under the table.  The height-adjustable legs can also be easily removed from the desk enabling simpler storage when this desk is not in use.

Another fabulous desk for your serious student is the Bi-Level Computer Desk from Rehabmart.  This height-adjustable desk features separate and easy-to-operate hand crank mechanisms that your child can operate by herself to adjust the desk as she needs to throughout the school day.  Then, she can simply move these retractable mechanisms out of her way.

The front and rear surfaces both slide out three inches from their meeting point to allow access to wires and plugs and to maximize user adjustability.  Your child will love the independence of being able to adjust the computer keyboard and monitor surfaces to her own needs and you will love the ideal ergonomic positioning which will enhance your child's physical health, and help her to stay focused on the schoolwork and learning.
Regardless of abilities or disabilities, every child deserves a comfortable work environment as they learn.  Rehabmart can help you choose the right school desk for your own child by offering so many wonderful choices for so many different needs.
