This is not a new discovery. . . this balance disc or “disc-o-sit” is a great addition to your therapy equipment. Kids can use these to sit or stand on. Most of the time, we use these for sitting – either to practice working on balance and activating their core muscles, or as a “wiggle seat” for those kiddos that are able to sit well, but have that sensory “need” to move more. This allows them to get some movement in while sitting in one place!

Awesome preschool building blocks STEM toys for kids! Great way to incorporate using a tool to play and manipulate toys. Also, really works on using two hands to play and strengthen those bilateral coordination skills for brain development!
Hey everyone! This book does an awesome job of explaining why we therapists care so much about infant motor skill development! It is a good resource we can use with parents to help them see why babies go through the motor milestones.
