Question 6

Tactile defensiveness is commonly experienced when children are submerged in water.

Question 7

Flotation devices are frequently used as part of aquatic therapy.

Question 8

The primary expected benefits of Interactive Metronome are improvements in timing and rhythmicity.

Question 9

The Astronaut Training program uses both linear and rotary vestibular input to activate vestibular receptors in the inner ear.
