Posture Pack's design brief:

BIA Staff drove the design because we couldn't buy one for our children!
It's a great portable writing slope, with pencil / paper storage and carry handle and an optional but desirable seat wedge.

We wanted to preserve Children's Poise and Posture?
It's been known for hundreds of years that sitting on a seat that slopes forward improves posture. It's been known too that writing and reading is best at a slope of about 15 degrees. The problem for us (and hence our children) was that there was no economic package to put these important angles into practice. Nor anything that children would warm to and really use. And certainly nothing portable enough to be used at school and at home.

Posture Pack was the answer, and has been an outstanding success for 20 years. 

• Conceived to protect children's necks and spines, it's become a success by also helping children to read and write more easily.
• The whole family can use it to write with less tension in the arm, wrist and neck. Handwriting and drawing improve instantly.
• Can be used with laptops and tablets to raise the screen and tilt the keyboard.
• Even greater benefits will be felt by Dyspraxics and Dyslexics, which is why many Specialist Centres buy them from us.
• Many are specified every day by school occupational therapists, and bought by Education Authorities, but they are even more useful at home.
• So while you are buying one for your children don't forget yourself; it's very popular with everyone who loves writing and drawing or painting, adults and children alike.

Why it works?

The Writing Slope tilts papers and books to the correct angle for reading and writing, just like old-fashioned school desks.

The tilted surface improves vision too. It allows the eyes to focus on the whole page at once, something children normally achieve by curling over the desk, creating the habit of writing and reading with their face very close to the page.

Remember, a young child's focal length is naturally short, so it's inevitable they will get their eyes close to the paper, the answer is to get the paper closer to them!

Posture Pack is strong yet light and has a built in carrying handle. It stores both loose and punched papers, and has a removable A4 wallet to transport papers to and from school.

The Posture Pack Seat Wedge tilts the seat forward to a more comfortable angle for working, making it easier to lean forward to work without slouching.

The Seat Wedge fits cleverly inside the Writing Slope to provide a complete portable solution.

The desk slope has 3 storage systems inside that keep frequently used items to hand.

1. A "ring binder" type fitting which allows lots of punched papers to be stored.
2. A storage wallet to keep loose A4 sheets without punching.
3. A pencil case which keeps erasers, etc. at hand.
4. All this plus a strong handle for portability.
