Climbing Up Slides?

Sensory benefits of climbing slides:
1. Full body proprioception (regulating and organizing for the brain)
2. Motor planning
3. Balance
4. Body in space and body awareness
5. Works on full body flexion which is incredibly important for sensory integration
6. Provides ankle stretches for those who tend to be toe walkers
7. Vestibular input
8. Bilateral coordination
9. Core strength and trunk control
10. Purposeful and meaningful, and fun!
There are all sorts of techniques to keep this safe!
