[quote=Anonymous]My child does handstands and cartwheels all the time not because she needs to be upside down but because she craves the deep pressure in her arm muscles/joints. (She has SPD and Dyspraxia)This is what her OT explained. She used to fill this need by pushing up onto her arms on the back of sofas and railings. Our OT said my daughter could try to meet this need at school in an acceptable way by pressing her palms together in front of her body but that really isn't the same and she is embarrassed to do that in front of her classmates.
