Off topic: Anyone heard of this product?

[Guest guest]

my son loved it at school and they used it in between work activities for

propreaception

it was great!

Not sure if anyone can help me with this. I have a friend who is looking at a

product called Steamroller from Southpaw Enterprises because her daughter

constantly seeks deep pressure. The child rolls through it to provide pressure

on the body and the tension of the rollers can be adjusted. Has anyone heard of

this or tried it? My friend would like to have some feedback before buying it

and no one on our local ASD list had heard of it.

Thanks,

I haven't heard of it... But she should be able to try

it on a trial basis before purchasing, as you can

never know if the child will like it or not. (It does

sound good, though.)

A good massage therapist may be in order.

This sounds comparable to the " squeeze machine " that Temple Grandin had

designed. I think I saw one at a school I visited. You definitely need to

provide adult supervision during its use.

Heidi and others:

The best form of stimulation I have found is massage therapy for children.

There are an array of therapists including : NEUROMUSCULAR, CRANIOSACRAL,

DEEP TISSUE, SHIATSU, SWEDISH, ACCUPRESSURE.

If your friend has the $$ for machine for personal use, tell her to try one

of these therapists out. I guarantee child will take to one and their are many

benefits to massage.
