#dizzydisc

There's a reason some kids just need to spin.

it's not a behavior problem. it's not defiance. it's the vestibular system doing its job — seeking input to help the nervous system regulate.

for a lot of neurodivergent kids, spinning is genuinely regulating. it helps with focus, emotional calm, and feeling grounded in their bodies. occupational therapists have known this for decades. it's the whole foundation of sensory integration work.

the dizzy disc is one of the tools built around that idea — a rotating platform with an adjustable tilt so you can dial intensity up or down depending on what a student actually needs that day. OTs use it in clinic. teachers keep it in sensory corners. some classrooms roll it into whole-class brain break rotations, which means no one kid gets singled out for needing movement. that part matters.

we wrote up a full guide on using it with neurodivergent students — covering classroom setup, therapy applications, and what to watch for with different sensory profiles. link in bio.

have you used a dizzy disc with students or clients? what's your experience been?
