DESIGNING & MANUFACTURING THE WORLD’S MOST VERSATILE SENSORY GYM STRUCTURES

HOME SENSORY INTEGRATION THERAPY GYM STRUCTURES

FOR ALL AGES & SIZES

Sensory gyms are safe, structured settings where children enjoy guided play that promotes cognitive-behavioral, and social skills and enhance motor development. When combined with other therapies, a sensory gym can amplify results by reinforcing the treatment of sensory disorders. For many, the use of a sensory gym increases independence, eases stress in social situations, and raises tolerance to new sensations coming from the body and the environment.

Regardless of whether your child has special needs, a sensory gym promotes skill and developmental growth. Our sensory integration therapy gym equipment is designed to provide proprioceptive and vestibular sensory input — swings, trampolines, therapy balls, etc.

WOULD YOUR CHILD BENEFIT FROM A SENSORY GYM?

Sensory gyms are fun for all kids, but they’re especially valuable for children with special needs because they provide a wonderful opportunity for them to learn to process information in a fun, non-threatening way. Not only will these gyms help improve balance and body awareness, but they’ll also improve fine motor skills, coordination, cause-and-effect reasoning and cognitive-behavioral social skills in a safe environment.

However, sensory gyms are especially useful because they integrate a child’s sensory input, which is something children with special needs struggle with. They’re either over-sensitive (i.e., they become overwhelmed with too much information) or under-sensitive (i.e., sensory information isn’t properly registered). In stark contrast to a traditional learning environment, sensory gyms are fun, stress-free areas where children with special needs can process sensory information and break the classroom frustration learning cycle.

4 INDICATORS THAT YOUR CHILD MAY BENEFITS FROM A SUMMIT SENSORY GYM

  • Your Child Craves Sensory Input –

    If your child enjoys spinning, crashing into walls, or constantly running, climbing, and jumping on couches, a symptom of hyposensitivity, a sensory gym could be beneficial to help your child process and develop his sensory skills.

  • Your Child Hates Sensory Input –

    If your child shies away from different textures, sounds, and experiences or can’t stand to be touched, a symptom of hypersensitivity, he could use a sensory gym to learn to manage sensory information.

  • Your Child is Lethargic –

    If your child is lethargic, unengaged, and seems unable to absorb normal stimulation, he could benefit from a sensory gym by practicing responding to sensory information.

  • Your Child Needs the Motivation to Keep Moving Lots of Different Muscles –

    Maybe your child lacks complete muscle control, as children with cerebral palsy do. A sensory gym will give him a safe, friendly environment that encourages him to move all of his muscles.

  • Even if Your Child Does Not Have Special Needs –

    If your child does have a sensory disorder, a sensory gym acts as a form of physical therapy that will help alleviate the symptoms of his disorder. If you find that your child has difficulty processing information, introduce your child to a sensory gym and observe how he reacts.

    The more sensory integration skills a child can master, the easier it will be for him to learn new information and grow.
