Spinning=Belly Laughs

A few weeks ago Grammy had bought Drew a swivel chair from Ikea for his new Big Boy Bedroom. I found out about this chair from Drew's Occupational Therapist who has one for her children. She thought it may help with Drew and his SPD. Last night we finally finished putting it together (it was a process - what can I say?).






Key features:

With the hood pulled down the chair is a secret hiding place for a child.

The fabric lets light in so it is never completely dark under the hood.

Spinning helps the brain sort sensory impressions.

Can be used with a cushion or pad for added comfort.



Result?



Drew ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!! We put some blankets in the chair with him, pulled the cover down and gave him a spin. He started to squeal with laughter!! When he wasn't squealing we was grinning from ear to ear!!

Thank you Grammy!!

I will try and post video later...
