my sensory teen loves to jump and stomp on this as hard as he can, and watch his brother run to try and catch it.  It's one of the few games they can play together.

honestly my autistic teen loves to get on the treadmill for a bit with assistance.  It's a quick way for him to burn some misdirected energy.  we live in nyc, so have a foldable treadmill.

SOLUTION, if their sensory wish is to slam your door back and forth, stick this on the bottom.  It significantly slows the door down so it can't slam and keeps the room temperature regulated. win. win.
