Hydrotherapy: Keeping Your Chin Up In The Water!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try the Head Float with children with Cerebral Palsy or Hypotonia. The material of the Head Float is the same density as human skin, making the float comfortable and non-clammy. This is not a lifejacket but will comfortably keep your child's head above the water, increasing feelings of security and fun in the water. Try putting water wings on the ankles for an interesting change of position!

PLAY Tip
Pon Pon: Sensory Integration, Balance and Coordination
A great indoor/outdoor toy, especially for children with mild balance and coordination issues or general developmental delays. Start with simply bouncing in place and then work up to real bouncing. The strong kinesthetic stimulation can help some children with autism "click" into attentiveness. Good for indoor winter exercise in cold northern climes.
