16. Wear a weighted backpack when walking from class to class. Parents can
put a notebook, book, or books (depending on the size of the child) into their
backpack each day for the ride or walk to school. One therapist suggested that
"you might want to be careful about adding weight to backpacks as it could
result in low back pain." It might also be contraindicated with diagnoses
such as Spina Bifida. Maybe weight could be added elsewhere such as in fanny
packs.
