Assessment and Prescription
Scooot is an early mobility product, designed
to give kids a fun experience of movement
when they may not be able to move very well
by themselves. Scooot has been designed for
kids ranging from approximately 2-6 years
old (depending on their size) and Gross Motor
Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I -
IV, depending on their level of development.
Your child will get the most out of Scooot (in all
configurations) if they are able to hold their own
head up, and have a reasonable level of trunk
control which means they can floor sit with a
little pelvic support.
Your child will find it difficult to use Scooot in
any configuration if they have limited head and
trunk control or sitting ability.
