Rebound

Here in Hadrian School we are very lucky to have our very own Rebound Therapy Centre. Rebound therapy has a wide range of benefits to all of our children. Our children have their own specific programme to follow in order to get the most out of this trampoline therapy. It provides opportunities for therapeutic positioning, enhancing movement patterns, exercise, relaxing muscles and strengthening muscles. Additionally we may concentrate on balance, confidence and communication. It is a fun and enjoyable way to progress in all areas of learning! We sing, we count, we talk, we sign, we use energy and we relax!

Throughout our day we have been using core vocabulary communication boards to create opportunities for the children to tell us what they want, whether it be – more, go, stop, help, fast or slow. Rebound is a perfect way to incorporate our core vocabulary, the children enjoy the session which is a good motivator for communicating.

Lacey has picked up the core vocabulary really well choosing stop when the singing and bouncing stops – then selecting more from the board to get going again!

Kimberly has grown in confidence. At the beginning of this school year, she wasn’t keen on sitting on the roll and preferred to be sitting on the trampoline, however this week she has really enjoyed sitting on the roll singing ‘horsey horsey’ while bouncing on the trampoline. Her balance is great and there was smiles all round!

Daniel has been calm during sessions listening to directions and following them whilst having fun signing for more.

Ella is beginning to tolerate her leg strengthening and balance exercise on the trampoline more. Brilliant work Ella!

All of the children have been working very hard, well done to everyone!

Here are some photos of our children getting the most out of this week’s Rebound session. See you all next week, Loveday and team xx
