Abilities International is pleased to welcome Smirthwaite as an event sponsor for the 2026 Accessibility Conference. For nearly four decades, Smirthwaite has been dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults with additional needs through thoughtfully designed, highly personalised equipment.
Founded in 1986, the company works closely with therapists, parents, carers, and children to create seating, standing, bathing, toileting, therapy, and classroom solutions that support both clinical goals and everyday comfort. Every product is made to order and crafted with individual care, reflecting Smirthwaite’s commitment to durability, ease of use, and long-term value.
Smirthwaite’s mission - to help each person shine - guides its approach to design, manufacturing, and customer support. With colourful, child-friendly options and a team of dedicated Product Advisors offering free assessments and customised adjustments, the company aims to make equipment both functional and joyful.
As an event sponsor, Smirthwaite brings a valuable focus on paediatric inclusion and independence to this year’s conference.
