A large number of Needak customers rely on rebounding to assist in their children’s well being, whether they be young or adults on the spectrum. Where required, with supervision, individuals on the spectrum can enjoy a myriad of benefits through the sport of rebounding that is often difficult to replicate elsewhere.
- Sensory Processing & Emotional Regulation: For individuals on the Autism Spectrum, sensory processing can be a major challenge. Rebounding provides a repetitive motion that offers calming sensory feedback, helping to regulate sensory input and support emotional stability. The gentle bouncing can act as a form of “self-regulation,” helping individuals stay grounded and calm.
- Improves Social Skills & Body Awareness: Rebounding also promotes body awareness, which can help improve coordination and motor skills. For those on the spectrum, this activity can provide a non-verbal way of building self-confidence, contributing to better social interaction and improved social behaviors.
- Healthy Time: Individuals on the spectrum can benefit through a repetitive exercise for extended or periodic periods of time to not only occupy and stimulate them, but to create organized schedules of healthy activities.
