Playgrounds and jungle gyms can be intimidating environments for children, especially if they have a sensory disorder. But at TOTville's innovative sensory gym, children can have fun and develop without feeling stressed or anxious.
The Manalapan center's sensory gym provides your child with a safe and judgment-free setting where they can work on their cognitive, behavioral, and social skills. The gym is meant to be a supplement to traditional sensory disorder treatments, amplifying and reinforcing the results achieved through other methods.

- TOTville has equipped its sensory gym with a wide range of apparatuses, including linear and rotational swings, climbing walls, vertical and horizontal ladders, zip lines, trapezes, and crash pads. The purpose of these apparatuses is to present your child with both proprioceptive and vestibular sensory input so they can work on their fine and gross motor skills at the same time.
- While in the sensory gym, your child gets to enjoy both free play and guided activities. The guided activities are usually tailored to your child's individual developmental needs and overseen by TOTville’s licensed therapists. This balance of free play and guided activities gives your child a chance to be independent and curious while also ensuring they get the necessary care and attention they require.
- Generally speaking, if your child has sensory integration dysfunction (SID) or sensory processing disorder (SPD) they will get the most benefit out of using the sensory gym; however, even if your child has another physical or mental disorder—or no disorder at all—they may still profit from using the facility.
- While TOTville recommends that you have your child properly examined for SID or SPD, there are some indicators that you should be aware of. For example, if your child is overly sensitive or underreactive to touch, movement, sights, or sounds these are common symptoms of a sensory disorder. Also, if your child has difficulty with speech, coordination, and balance, there is a good chance that they may require some sort of therapy.
- Children who use the sensory gym over time, generally develop the appropriate responses to stimuli. Moreover, they also typically experience significant improvement in their cognitive, social, and behavioral skills, which in turn, can make their everyday lives a lot less stressful and anxiety-inducing.
“We have loved our experience at TOTville,” said a satisfied client. “The therapists are very professional and to the point. They figured out my nephew’s obstacles and got to work on them immediately. Within two months he had improved his fine motor skills, developed strength in his upper and lower extremities, and increased his tolerance to sensory stimuli.”
If you are interested in signing your child up for a session in the sensory gym you can call TOTville at the number in the description or fill out the contact form on their website.
