Get the Facts on “Trapeze Therapy”, Invented by an OT
Autistic patients receiving occupational therapy to treat spectrum disorders are nothing new in the OT field, but one groundbreaking treatment is certainly new to the scene: trapeze therapy. It’s being practiced in Athens, Georgia at the Canopy Repertory Company, where the ceilings are as high as the potential for young autistic patients to enhance their balance, coordination, flexibility and endurance.
Developed by Carlynn Kenna, a licensed occupational therapist who has danced with Canopy for the last decade, trapeze therapy is designed to bridge the developmental gap for children (from birth to age 18) with special needs. And it’s not just autism that can be treated with aerial arts, it’s also proven ideal for patients with ADD or ADHD, gross or fine motor delays or spatial integration issues—all things that occupational therapists work with every day. By clicking the Athens Dispatch link, a 7-year-old patient is seen in the midst of receiving trapeze therapy; she works all her core muscles, strengthens her back and has fun at the same time.
The general consensus among young patients receiving this therapy is that they are happier, more confident and vocal as a result of it. Patients must be referred, as with any occupational therapy, by a physician’s written order. Once that’s done, health insurance may likely pick up the tab. Trapeze therapy is joining the fray of innovative new treatments, ideal for OTs with clients who are willing to try new approaches with their child’s best interest at heart.
While trapeze therapy is not yet available outside of Georgia, it may catch on in other rehab jobs soon. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education states that developing children require 3 to 4 hours per day of active rough and tumble pay to achieve adequate stimulation to the vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile sensory systems—trapeze therapy accomplishes these goals, so it’s no surprise to see Home therapy trapeze systems at Autism-Products.com.

With support from a Nevada based healthcare company, Republican Senator, Joe Hardy is making headway in passing Bill 87; the amendment would repeal the law that makes it illegal for a healthcare employer to discriminate against applicants who use chemical products outside of work—even if use of tobacco, for example, does not affect job performance. If this anti-smoking legislation is successful, healthcare employers in Nevada, after June 30th, will screen applicants for nicotine; those who test positive will not be hired.
