Background;

Mark Dickinson, an amateur DIY enthusiast and veteran of the Royal Anglian Regiment, has been making the equipment as a more cost-efficient way of making early intervention therapy equipment more accessible for disabled children.

Mark set up the KatNat not-for-profit organisation because of his granddaughter Nathelene who has cerebral palsy. The private therapy ultimately ended up costing around £13,000, where Nathelene mainly used a tool called the Pikler Triangle.

Mark talked about the cost of the equipment that inspired him to make his own, he said: “My daughter told me that the piece of equipment she used was around £160 – it cost me around £30 to make myself.

“I decided after that that I would carry on making the equipment for those who need them. I hate seeing families who need this stuff going without, If they don’t have the equipment at home then they don’t get the same opportunity to grow really.”
