New York – Online Sales
Smirthwaite USA has been designing, manufacturing and selling equipment for children and young people with special needs since 1986.
Every product is made to order and given individual care and attention from the day it arrives to the day it leaves the factory and beyond… We are firm believers in well-made products that are easy to use and, importantly, can stand the test of time. For added convenience we have produced product user guides and videos which are available to download.
Our products come in a variety of amazing colours to brighten up any child’s room (or to simply to allow them to choose and enjoy their favorite color chair, for example).
Much of the equipment available for special needs children is complex, difficult to use and expensive to maintain. We think that’s wrong and believe we have challenged this approach with our unique easy to use modular designs.

The Brookfield Chair
The Brookfield chair is a robust chair for children from 2 years old to adults who require moderate levels of postural support when seated.

As an additional feature, the back can also be adjusted in height. This allows even greater flexibility and enables the chair to grow with your child.
Sunni Cafeteria Chair
The Sunni cafeteria chair is all about inclusion, it has designed along side the charity Cerebra, to give children the opportunity to eat and socialise with their friends during school break times instead of eating separately in their own chairs.
