The new school year is right around the corner. Most children will be returning virtually or some hybrid of in person and online schooling. Children can experience the same discomfort as adults when they are sitting at a desk or in some cases a table all day doing school work. We’ve created a list of products that can enhance your child’s learning experience by providing comfort and reducing risk of injuries. We can’t help you teach common core math, but we can give you the right tools to make homeschooling more comfortable and hopefully easy for your family.

Height Adjustable Tables can be a great addition if you you have multiple kids and need to utilize your space. With multiple sizes, styles and colors to choose from, you can find a table to match your existing décor. Help keep your kids focused on school work by switching positions from sitting to standing throughout the day. This not only promotes circulation but can aid in productivity and reduce stress and restlessness.

Mobile Height Adjustable Workstations can be an option for limited spaces and can be used with laptops. These desks can be conveniently stored out of the way when not in use. Many have locking casters to allow for stationary use. Worried about your children fighting over space? You can purchase multiple stations to keep kids from arguing over “who is touching whose space”. You’re already becoming a teacher, no need to add “referee” to your resume too. 

Ergonomic Chairs can really make a difference when sitting for long hours a day. The ergonomic chairs we offer can be tailored to fit your child’s individual needs such as seat size, arms, memory foam, or casters. We offer a wide selection of fabric styles and colors so your child can express their personality while feeling comfortable. Kitchen table chairs can enhance “the wiggles” from your child trying to find a comfortable position. Quality ergonomic chairs can keep your child focused on their schoolwork. We even offer a little person task chair or a student chair to fit your young or short-statured child. The products we offer won’t be typical chairs you can find at local retail office shops. Our experts can advise you of the best options to fit your child and welcome the opportunity.

Document Holders allow your child to keep their commonly used items like paperwork or books within reach to reduce neck and upper body strain. Involve your kids with the decision making to help them get excited about school work. VuRyte has 14 fun colors to choose from! We’d be happy to send you pictures of options so your child can choose their favorite.

Task Lights play an important part in reducing headaches and eye fatigue while increasing work efficiency. Make sure your child is working in a well-lit room and their screen is not facing a window. The direct glare that sunlight can create mixed signals to the brain while trying to adapt between the bright window and dark computer screen.

Laptop Accessories provide comfort without the need to buy a whole new computer system. Working on laptops incorrectly can lead to body aches from hunching over, shoulder cramps, and repetitive strain injuries. When you combine laptop stands, keyboards, and mice you will improve posture, reduce neck and shoulder pain, and decrease your risk of developing repetitive strain injuries.  Purchase a laptop stand, mouse, and keyboard together and save 10% until 9/30/20 (we will adjust price at the time the order ships).

Remember along with these products and tips give your children (and yourself) plenty of breaks throughout the day to move around. Yoga, light stretching, or even an impromptu dance party can keep your child focused, happy, and stress-free. And most important – it’s okay to have no idea what you’re doing. This isn’t a normal time for anyone so be kind to yourself. If you’d like some help discussing your needs, give us a call at 314-994-0500 or email at aesales@advan-ergo.com . We also offer remote ergonomic assessments of your workspace to make the most out of this pandemic!
