Rebound Therapy

Rebound Therapy

Rebound Therapy is the therapeutic use of the trampoline and has been used in special needs education since the 1970s.  At Mayfield School we have our own rebound therapy trampoline, trained therapists and a dedicated timetable.  Children who attend these sessions have a range of disabilities and health needs.  In addition to providing a physical therapy, rebound therapy provides the opportunity to enjoy movement and interaction while having great fun!!
