How to Build a Wedged Seat. A wedged seat, sometimes referred to as a Perch Seat, is angled so that the back is higher than the front. This 7 to 10 degree angle tips the pelvis into an anterior tilt which can prompt upright posture. The wedge promotes "active sitting" during which the core muscles are engaged and the sitter is alerted to engage more attentively with presented activities. Children with low muscle tone who slouch may be good candidates for wedged seating. www.perkins.org/adc Learning Activities, Low Muscle Tone, School Crafts, School Projects, Active Sitting, Pediatric Physical Therapy, Assistive Devices
