Hydrotherapy: Keeping Your Chin Up In The Water!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try the Head Float with children with Cerebral Palsy or Hypotonia. The material of the Head Float is the same density as human skin, making the float comfortable and non-clammy. This is not a lifejacket but will comfortably keep your child's head above the water, increasing feelings of security and fun in the water. Try putting water wings on the ankles for an interesting change of position!

Aids for Daily Living: Teaching How To Turn Lights On
Play can be serious business as the Light Bulb & Switch demonstrates. Before trying to teach how to control lighting with a regular switch on the wall try working with this training device on a table top. It can help teach that up means on and down means off as well as the fine motor skills needed to activate a regular sized wall switch.
