New Sensory Based Social Skills Class Added for April – May 2015
NEWLY ADDED CLASS AND TIME! We are excited to add another session of our popular sensory based social skills class! This is a six week class on Mondays from 3:30-4:30 pm. Children will work on social awareness through sensory based activities in our gym space. Space is limited so call us at or email [email protected] for more information or to register.
Gift Guide Feature: Indoor Trampoline
36 inch Folding Trampoline
One of the very first things we purchased at SenseAbility Gym is our indoor trampoline, and it has become one of our very favorite things. Kids recognize it instantly from their school or occupational therapy clinics as a way to “get the wiggles out”. It’s great for helping children learn to jump and balance while developing muscle tone while getting the proprioceptive sensory input they need.
In our Amazon Sensory Store, we feature this Stamina 36 inch folding trampoline – the same one we have here at SenseAbility Gym. It’s a perfect size for indoors and can easily be stored when not in use. This would be a great gift for the sensory seeker in your life! Put some mats around it for safety and you’re good to go. Purchase through our affiliate link at /detail/B000JC2ZHA and support SenseAbility Gym!
