| Special needs Merry Muscles, sized larger to accomodate an
older/bigger child. The design is the same as the infant model,
simply in a larger scale. For children with special needs who
can benefit from being in the Merry Muscles but are too big to
fit in the infant model or have outgrown the infant model.

without pressure on any vital organs.

bouncing with stiff legs and eliminating the possibility of bone
or joint injuries caused by impact.

an occupational therapist.
