Play Tip!
All ball use tips apply to all sizes of balls. To decrease spasticity, try deflating your ball slightly, lying the child face down and rolling the ball back and forth. Soothing music and firm touch on the tight muscles can also help. This size is usually best for children the size of a typical child of 8 - 14 years or a small adult.

PLAY Tip
What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game
Kinesthetic awareness is an important part of healthy sensory integration. Challenge your child to use the sense of touch only and identify different objects with the What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game. Try dividing the objects by theme. Good examples are: objects from nature, dishes and cutlery, or grooming aids. To make the game easier, try offering fewer choices and supply a picture of the objects under the cover. Can your child tell the toothbrush from the hairbrush?
