Thanks to its shape and colours, BIRILLO is accepted as a "toy" by the child and this predisposes to a serene use, without fear, by stimulating its curiosity of exploring the surrounding enviroment. For this reason BIRILLO plays a very important part in the development of the perceptive and motor visual functions of the child, which are necessary to know and represent the space.
The triangular sitting position prevents from the extreme hip and trunk extention and lets the child have his head and trunk well lined up. According to this, the aid helps the child having a right posture and his moving impulse. The abduction block keeps the pelvis in the triangular sitting. Its posture stimulates the movement of the arms and the rotation of the trunk.
