Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.

Physiotherapy: Using the PhysioBall or Egg To Reduce Spasticity
To decrease spasticity, try deflating your PhysioBall or Egg slightly, lying the child face down and rolling the ball back and forth. Soothing music and firm touch on the tight muscles can also help.
