Adam Griffin on Instagram: "An amazing little balance exercise that boosts both motor coordination and self-regulation! 💪🧠 

Perfect for helping kids stay cool and composed while improving their physical skills. 

In the video, you'll see me use a small weighted ball (1lb) as it's slightly squishy, more stable and easier to contorl. Then, you'll see me use a small tennis ball for an older kiddo for a significantly greater challenge.

More Than A Gym on Instagram: "Steamroller: Providing proprioceptive input with a therapy ball rolled over body to organize the nervous system!

Have your child lay down in a comfortable position and roll the therapy ball up and down their body applying firm pressure. Proprioceptive input is one of our hidden senses (we have 8 senses total). This system provides a sense of body awareness by sending messages to receptors in our muscles and joints. They tell our bodies what each body part is doing, where our bodies are in space, and how it is moving. Providing this input helps organize the nervous system which can aid in calming children who are overstimulated or increase alertness to aid in attention.

**Check in with your child to see if they want more or less pressure **

Starfish Therapies on Instagram: "Fun new activity that works on core strength as well as weight bearing through arms. We have been focusing on the weight bearing for kids who have altered tone in their arms as well as kids who have general weakness. The goal was to try to get the ball to the other person’s peanut to score a point. I can tell you I was definitely out of breath when we finished! The further out on the peanut they are the harder it is. Having them switch hands will also work on bilateral coordination and timing/reactions.
