[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 386881, member: 7916"] Wouldn't a sqeeze machine be great? My difficult child takes A LOT of sensory breaks. How about a fabric tunnel to crawl through? You can get tube-top type material at fabric stores. It is already sewn into a circle, so you just have to buy 6 feet or so and you have an instantaneous squeezy tunnel. difficult child usually pushes a medicine ball through the tunnel to get some extra work. What kind of equipment is available to Tigger's teacher? Are Occupational Therapist (OT)-type swings available? difficult child does some exercises on swings, eg lying on tummy (on a platform swing) and grabbing onto a bar and holding for a few seconds. He also does push ups off the wall (and sometimes off sp ed teachers hands). He has a scooter to lie on and push/pull himself along with his hands (It is the square plastic scooter often seen in PE classes). These all are more proprioceptive exercises, but might be more easily accomplished in a typical school Occupational Therapist (OT) room or Adaptive PE room than deep pressure exercises. Or, does the school have any weighted vests (or blankets)? Maybe Tigger could wear a weighted vest for 30 minutes or so before going to the gen ed environment. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
