Sensory materials to encourage the use of touch to learn about objects and the environment, as well as to help build an understanding of the body and its relation to the world around it. Many with sensory processing disorder or SPD are sensory defensive. Tactile defensive or TD may dislike some touch sensations (ie getting hands dirty, finger-paint, light touch that may occur when standing line, etc). Other sensory systems may also be defensive. Auditory - loud noises; oral- dislike textures and tastes so may have a very limited diet; vestibular (movement)- may easily get car sick or may need more input than others (ie swinging or spinning). Visual- may not tolerate bright, flickering or changing lights. Olfactory- may not tolerate strong aromas- pleasant or noxious.
Sensory Gel Pads Put away your messy hair gel and zip-lock bags! These heat-sealed, high grade vinyl gel pads are safer, more durable easier to clean, and offer a far greater sensory experience than the man-made variety. Work on visual attending, hand eye coordination, finger isolation and hand and finger strengthening. Additionally, the proprioceptive input received from pushing the shape through the resistive gel, along with the innate sensory experience of the gel itself, combine to make the Sensory Gel Pads calming, anxiety reducing activities. Try using as a pre-sleep, calming down activity. The maze is a fun, finger challenge for one person at a time, while the Wave is a lot of fun when played a a 2 person experience. Alternative play might involve racing the clock or another player, or try moving the floating pieces from end to end while eyes are closed. Awesome multi-sensory experience!

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!
