At the age 5 1/2, besides being non-verbal and severely autistic, Brandon could not run three steps without falling down, nor could he catch or throw a ball. We began interacting with him by playing with various types of balls and plush objects as intergral part of Brandon's growth mentally and physically. About two years ago,we began to use the exercise ball as a chair for Brandon while he's watching television, or at his computer. This exercise ball promotes core, legs and muscle strengthening and coordination.
