These videos show the different ways you can work with your child to keep their muscles relaxed, loose and not contracted depending on their age. It can also be a wonderful way to connect with your child through movement and touch. It may be helpful to share this with your care team of therapists for them to perhaps learn something new while working with your child.

Our thanks to Haley Snyder, PT and Mollie, and Lorelei Sandoval and Isaac for giving their time to share their knowledge.
