Abilitations therapy ball helps provide relaxed treatment with grab-on security, and improve gross motor and active seating skills. The ball is lightweight to provide slower movement for eye tracking, and has a dynamic, tactile surface for grasping. The ball has a wide inflation range to control bounce and softness, and bounces even when semi-inflated to allow grasping by individuals with neuromuscular challenges. The ball, which measures 75.0cm/29.5” in diameter, supports up to 300.0 lb., and is made of vinyl for durability. Vinyl resists oil, has low moisture absorption, and is non-conductive. The ball can be inflated with a straw or inflator (sold separately). Color may vary depending on availability at the time the product is packaged. The ball may be suitable for use in special needs learning environments.
Special needs products are designed to help improve sensory processing, positioning and mobility, fine motor, and language and communication skills for students with learning challenges. Positioning and mobility products can help individuals improve gross motor, balance, active seating, and postural control skills, and strengthen core muscles.
