Hydrotherapy: Taking Non-Swimmers Swimming on a Sectional Raft!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
If your child gets cold because part of his or her torso is above the waterline, get a towel wet and lay it over the exposed part. Your child will feel more comfortable. Pick the Sectional Raft for children (or adults) with poor or no neck and upper body control who will be in the water but not "swimming".

PLAY Tip
Age Appropriate Switches
Finding fun age appropriate "cool" devices for switch-using children with special needs between 6 - 12 has always been a challenge. Sport switches are perfect, not too babyish and not too therapeutic!
