Toddler Trampolines

Trampolines and the Special Needs Child

Trampolines can be used in therapy for disabled children in what's known as Rebound Therapy.  Rebound therapy aids balance and leg strength through jumping on a trampoline. While the use of a trampoline can be extremely beneficial to a child with special needs, great care needs to be taken in regards to the childs safety. An adult must always be alert and present when a child is using the trampoline.

Here are some of the rebounding benefits:

•Improves blood circulation and oxygen flow
