We love our foam and ball pits in our pediatric clinics–almost as much as our kiddo clients do! Have you ever wondered why we go to all the work of maintaining them? Though they are fun, they have many proven therapeutic benefits!
Here are a few:
Develop motor skills
Strengthen balance, stamina, endurance, and motor planning
Provide unique sensory stimulation
Assist cognitive abilities
Assist with gaining confidence with other physical activities
Encourage cooperative play and social skills
Encourage safe falling
Provide deep pressure stimulation
Provide self-regulation opportunities
and more!
Could you child benefit from some help in one of these areas? Give us a call for a free screening!
