πŸ‘€Our therapy gym got a bit of a makeover! πŸ‘€

πŸƒ The gym area is meant to be a safe space for vestibular, proprioceptive, and sensory input. It’s a great environment to encourage kids to increase strength and social interaction through play.

πŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™‚οΈVestibular input is sensory information about motion, head position, and gravity that helps the brain understand where the body is in space.
It supports balance, posture, coordination, and helps all sensory systems work together. Swinging, spinning, bouncing, jumping, rolling, and balancing are ways to incorporate vestibular input into play.


πŸ‹πŸ»Proprioceptive input for kids involves activities that use muscles and joints for deep pressure and heavy work, helping with body awareness, focus, and calming.
Heavy lifting, animal walks, jumping, and crashing are ways to incorporate proprioception into play.

We hope all the kids love the new look and we look forward to adding more things in the future!
