Physiotherapy: Using the PhysioBall or Egg To Reduce Spasticity
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff

Visual Stimulation and Cause and Effect In One Toy!
The Switch Adapted Graphics Mobile clamps onto more then just cribs! Try clamping the mobile onto the back of a stable chair and positioning it over a child lying on the floor. For a change, unhook the cards and add your own special objects. Try holographic pictures, shiny ribbons, tinsel, leaves, or anything that strikes your fancy!
