Why It helps

* Provides proprioceptive input (proprioception is our body's sense of where it is and how it is moving)

*Pushing against a wall give the muscles and joints firm resistance.  This type of "heavy work" can help some children feel more organized, calm, and ready to focus

*Simple * No equipment * Home or School
