Life-Changing Benefits

HEADALOFT improves the lives of people who lack head control.

Benefit 1

Better Body Symmetry

Supporting the head and aligning the body centralizes the head in an upright position, which helps relieve aches and pains, and enhances self-esteem.

Benefit 2

Smoother Breathing

Lifting the head up opens the airways letting in more oxygen.

Benefit 3

Easier Eating/Swallowing

Keeping the head elevated reduces choking hazards for both solids and liquids while ensuring an easier feeding experience for caregivers and smoother swallowing for the user.

Benefit 4

Enhanced Communication

Better eye contact heightens social engagement while open airways make talking easier.

Benefit 5

Eye Gaze Control

Users gain the ability to practice eye-gaze control which allows for expanded learning opportunities and greater fulfillment potential.
