Occupational therapy incorporating Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) can be beneficial for children across various diagnostic categories, such as:

 

1. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD):

    Children with ASD often face challenges in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. SUP offers rich sensory experiences and promotes socialization and communication through group activities.

2. Sensory Processing Disorders:

    Children with sensory processing issues may struggle to process and respond to sensory stimuli. SUP can aid in developing sensory processing abilities through water contact and movement.

 

Occupational therapy with SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) can be adapted to meet the individual needs and abilities of children, offering an enjoyable and therapeutic method to enhance their physical, emotional, and social well-being. By focusing on sensory processing, motor coordination, and social interaction, SUP serves as an engaging and effective tool in promoting overall wellness in individuals with various developmental challenges.

SUP programs are organized in cooperation with the Athens Nautical Club
