Our custom-built specialized equipment is designed to help individuals with special needs. Each equipment is designed to stimulate a child’s senses, as well as his/her vestibular and proprioception systems. Our equipment also improves body awareness, motor skills, as well as communication and social skills. Children of all abilities can have fun, while building up their tolerance to activity and sensory input, coordination, muscle strength, and motor planning. We bring the outdoor playing experience inside to educate, challenge, and stimulate individuals.
The trampoline helps teach balance and helps to build lower body strength. Jumping or sitting on the trampoline helps vestibular perception, and playing on the trampoline improves proprioception – the control and movement of ligaments, joints, and small muscles.
A swing helps to build up the upper body and core strength, to increase balance, and to encourage body awareness and coordination. The movement of the swings provides input to the vestibular system which can be either alerting or calming, depending on the child. There are many types of sensory swings. We have a fully loaded overhead jungle gym system that includes a hammock, bolster, net, and trapeze seat swing.
