Crash Mat

A crash mat used in occupational therapy is a large, cushioned mat designed to absorb impact and provide a safe landing surface for children during therapeutic activities. Typically made of high-density foam and covered with durable, easy-to-clean vinyl, these mats are essential for exercises that involve jumping, falling, or tumbling. They help prevent injuries by cushioning falls, allowing children to engage in dynamic activities that improve motor skills, coordination, and sensory processing. The mat’s large size and thick padding create a secure environment for therapeutic play, making it a valuable tool in occupational therapy settings.
