This week we are focusing on the BioMat health benefits for special needs children, specifically ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and Autism.
- A person’s mind with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and/or Autism is constantly working. This is true even if the person has low intellectual/mental capacity and limited communication abilities. With perpetual brain activity constantly “going,” the BioMat and Pillow can be extremely helpful as this powerful combo seems to help relax the nervous system. Consequently, they become not so chatty and start to loosen up where they can actually rest.
- Further about children with Autism, they usually set their own temperature, as they tend to be “in tune” with their own bodies. They may be hypersensitive to the extent that when they use the BioMat and feel warm, they turn it down or vice versa. Autistic children typically calm down immediately. They become more focused and their nervous system becomes more relaxed.
- For smaller children, use the Mini BioMat; as children age, larger BioMat sizes are more appropriate (either a professional-size or Single BioMat). A waterproof cover protects it.
- Hydration is also important and it is vital for parents to make sure their children drink plenty of water, especially if they are using the BioMat regularly.
