A Real Family Village
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
TRACE center has created a wonderful site for parents and caregivers of children with special play needs.
This is a site I find that I keep coming back too. It has excellent information on different conditions and disorders, full listings of manufacturers and retailers of special equipment, and many informative articles. Check it out for yourself!

PLAY Tip
Warmth relaxes tight muscles in the water.
When using a full support flotation aid like the Sectional Raft, some of the body remains above the waterline. The evaporation from the exposed parts of the body causes the swimmer to get chilly. When they get chilly, spasticity may increase. So, get a towel wet and lay it over the exposed part of the body before a chill sets in. Stop the chill before it starts, helping prevent the spasticity before it begins.
