I have a chair hammock, it is the coolest thing and Buster absolutely

loves it. He could spend hours in it.

Speaking of rocking chairs..Has anyone

trying a chair hammock?

I heard that alot of children like these. At 's OT meeting, the OT

said he was hyposensitive and craves vestibular (sp?) and that part of a

sensory diet, he should have time to get Vestibular activity. (at least

this is how I understood it, He hasn't started OT yet because we are on

the waiting list)

So anyway, I read on another board about these chairs and trampolines. I

was thinking of getting one of the little tramps..

Have any of you found them helpful for your children? Thanks in advance

Warm Regards

You don't have to wait, ! You can do OT yourself! Koosh balls,

tramps, bubbles, theraputty, small manipulatives, etc., etc., are just a

teeny tiny list of things you can use for OT! There are literally THOUSANDS

of things. Jump roaps, bean bags, heavy baskets, on and on and on....

I'm thinking of buying one of those little disks that you stand on and twist

for weight loss...I think Jacqui would LOVE that!

Wow Penny, thanks for the great ideas. I don't know why I feel like I have to

leave things to the professionals. I think somewhere back in the evil part of my

brain, I keep thinking " if I had the skills to help him, he wouldn't have any

issues and wouldn't be autistic " (My evil brain apparently has issues

Do you know of any good links to OT sites? Warm weather has finally hit Maine so

I would have to do some of these things (I could use the excesise too). What is

a koosh ball? theraputty and small manipulatives? (sorry I am an accountant, I

think way too black and white)
