Skateboard therapy since 2010

Inspired by the commitment of dedicated parents of children on the autism, ADHD, and sensory disorder spectrums, developed Askate - Skating with Kids through Acceptance, Therapy, and Education.

 

Hope

  • Accessing the 4 self-regulation strategies: Co-regulation, resilience, self-regulation, and exploration

  • Vestibular stimulation, often resulting in calmness

  • Child’s physiological state is changing and going into a neural platform in which spontaneous social behavior becomes an emergent property of that state. To deconstruct more, the child is happy. Child is looking at the other person, utilizing facial muscles where we see happiness. This is a memorable realization for parents of the child. Movement with engagement stimulating the brain opens up a channel for the child to experience windows of learning in multiple facets.

Connection

  • Social engagement system triggered which shifts physiological state

  • Profound neural exercise via reciprocal interactive play

  • Child leading in social interaction

  • Trust building exercising

  • Vulnerability and interest in the context of safety

  • Windows of time with spontaneous social engagement

Miracle

  • Important Movement - movement becomes a structured way of functionality, releasing energy and triggering a neural circuit through social interaction to co-regulate

  • If the system can be triggered, many of the attributes that are the most disruptive features of the autistic, or other mental disability, can be reduced
