Wiffle balls, constructed from durable, lightweight plastic with strategically placed airflow perforations, offer a modified projectile experience with significant therapeutic applications. The unique design of these balls results in a decreased flight velocity and trajectory, making them an ideal tool for addressing a variety of therapeutic goals.
Therapeutic Benefits and Applications:
Improved Hand-Eye Coordination: The slower flight path of the Wiffle ball allows for increased reaction time, facilitating the development and refinement of hand-eye coordination. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with visual-motor integration difficulties.
Enhanced Motor Planning: The modified flight dynamics of the Wiffle ball require adjustments in motor planning and sequencing for successful catching and throwing. This can be especially helpful for individuals with dyspraxia or other motor control challenges.
Graded Strengthening: The lightweight nature of the Wiffle ball makes it an excellent tool for graded strengthening exercises of the upper extremities. It can be used to progress from lighter, less resistant activities to more challenging throwing and catching tasks.
Increased Participation and Engagement: The less intimidating nature of the Wiffle ball, compared to a standard baseball, can increase participation and engagement in activities, especially for individuals who may be hesitant or have experienced previous failures with traditional sports. This can contribute to improved self-efficacy and motivation.
Sensory Modulation: The visual input from the spinning Wiffle ball, combined with the proprioceptive feedback from catching and throwing, can contribute to sensory modulation and integration.
Indoor and Outdoor Versatility: The reduced flight distance and lighter weight of the Wiffle ball make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, expanding the range of therapeutic environments and activities.
In summary, the Wiffle ball's design features offer a versatile and accessible tool for occupational therapists addressing a range of functional skills, including hand-eye coordination, motor planning, strength, and sensory integration. Its adaptability makes it appropriate for diverse populations and therapeutic settings.

We bought this to replace our animal happy hopper, which was getting too small. We love that it has handles. Great way to expend energy during TV time!

I'm not one to ever write reviews but it's so rare to experience a business that ticks all the boxes; efficient, great products and most importantly had service that showed genuine care. Really made you stand out. Thank you
My son loved this cockatoo so much - despite he is never a fan of plush toys. It's small, but it's perfect in size so he has the comfort of a little birdie, rather than a larger one which could be overwhleming. the wings can be untied so it can flap. it's made with good craftmanship and perfect companion for kids.
