SEN TRAMPOLINE

'Celebration of Participation' Events and Competitions

Since 2011 a framework for participation and competition events for people across a wide range of disabilities and additional needs has been available from the ReboundTherapy.org website. This was developed by a team of dedicated Rebound Therapy Tutors and Practitioners who joined forces to develop a way to make competitions more inclusive for people with complex physical and / or learning needs.

This programme includes participation and celebration opportunities for everyone, including people with profound and complex needs - these competitions really are fully inclusive.

The competitions comprise exercises and routines taken from the Winstrada trampoline development plan.
The categories range from Grade 1 to Grade 8. See below for routines.

Grades 1 and 2 are regarded as 'participation opportunity and celebration events' for those with profound or complex needs. Physical and verbal support is permitted as necessary. There is no limit to the number of bounces or repetitions of moves. Grades 3+ No physical assistance permitted but verbal prompting, signing and mirroring is permitted for all grades.
