Nesting benches can be used in many ways to support therapeutic activities. The following describes a few examples:

1. Use one bench as a seat and one bench as a support surface for play or fine motor activities. The child can remain seated, or the activity can require the child to move from sit-to-stand.
2. Pull-to-stand and then stand with the support of the appropriate height bench and/or cruise around the bench for play.
3. Stagger the height and distances of the benches to encourage multi-level support surface cruising and negotiation.
4. Use one of the benches as a footrest to promote alignment and lower extremity weight-bearing when the child's feet do not touch the ground.
5. Use a single bench to practice ascending and/or descending a step or side-stepping up and down.
6. Stagger the heights of the bench to simulate steps and practice going up and down a set of stairs, crawling or steppiing.
