October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month, so we thought we would share the story of our little friend who has Spina Bifida. Meet “Incredible Ian” a little boy who we met recently at a photo shoot in White Bear Lake, MN. He has been standing since he was two, and he currently uses an EasyStand Bantam pediatric stander. Ian’s Physical Therapist has recommended that Ian stand each day, and Ian’s mom makes sure that happens by integrating it into the day’s typical activities. Ian stands while his mom is preparing a meal, or while playing with his favorite superhero action figures.
Read more about Ian’s superhero standing story or watch the movie below. Ian was also mentioned in a recent blog post about “Super Hero Play” for Kids of all Abilities.
