5.0 USING YOUR SENSORY SCOOTER
• To use the Sensory Scooter, firstly place onto a flat indoor surface
• Sensory scooters are great for working on your client’s extension patterns as well as
bilateral motor coordination.
• Sitting astride the Sensory scooter aids balance/reaction development
• Whilst sitting astride, it is possible to practice moving forward and turning using
hands or feet.
• Walking practice can be achieved by sitting upright, holding the grab handle and
using solely feet to move the Sensory scooter across the floor.
