I initially purchased the board for home use, but quickly recognised its value within my professional environment as a therapeutic resource.
I added the board, ball, and balancing blocks to the resource corner in my office and let clients know there were new items available. Neurodivergent child clients were immediately drawn to the board and ball for sensory input, using them to pretend they were surfing or skateboarding, or playing catch with their parents.
Anxious teens also responded well to the products. Some enjoyed the gentle movement of the board under their feet while seated in session, while others found the firmness of the ball grounding to hold between their hands while talking.
The balancing blocks were especially popular with younger children. However, for neurodivergent clients or those who prefer uniformity and predictability, it may be helpful to mention beforehand that the blocks are slightly different sizes.
Overall, these are great products and have been a valuable addition to my therapeutic space.
