SCISSOR CUTTING
Following are several products recommended by OT MOM. For a complete listing of similar PFOT products, see the results of searching for 'scissor' in our online catalog.
Self Opening Scissors Looks like a conventional pair of high quality scissors with molded plastic finger openings. These scissors, however, will re-open automatically when pressure is released. This assists when finger strength and motor planning of the open/close pattern required for cutting is difficult. The plastic around finger holes is wider than most, to assist with finger stability. Isolated thumb and finger holes facilitates isolated finger movements. A nice scissor for those not ready for Benbow's.

Miracle Sensory Belt & Covers* The Miracle Belt is a weighted therapy belt for children which promotes self calming, balance and increased body awareness by enhancing proprioceptive feedback. When wearing the belt children quickly feel more grounded, focused and secure. Attending and stability improves, distractibility decreases and children are better able and more neurologically prepared to participate in tasks and activities at home, school and at play. The proximal/central location of the Belt at the waist means less weight is required to effect a change. Worn under or over clothing, the Miracle Belt is a wonderfully freeing alternative to weighted vests. Made with EVA foam and neoprene weight pouches filled with tiny stainless steel balls, the Belt is one of the most comfortable, safe and durable sensory processing aids available! Use with or without a cover. Blue material cover gives the normally sporty black Miracle Belt more of a wardrobe accessory look! *(Sorry this item does not qualify for free shipping.

BALLS AND EQUIPMENT
Following are several products recommended by OT MOM. For a complete listing of similar PFOT products, visit our BALLS AND EQUIPMENT section.
Balls With Feet (Sit N Gym) Same high quality latex free vinyl as the regular therapy balls, but these come with 3 little feet. The feet are a real asset when balls are used in the classroom or at home for homework. Point the "feet" down, under the ball to help keep the ball where it is placed when not being used. When ready to sit on, point the feet toward the back. They should not touch the ground. No more balls rolling around the classroom, so less chance they will be thrown. Balls with feet are really neat! 4 Sizes.
