As an Occupational Therapist I love to be able to support other educators & clinicians to both problem solve & product match to specific needs. The range is broad, covering a wide range of sensory needs. They help support mental health, focus and can assist with anxiety.
My top recommendations generally speaking for a clinical tool kit are:
-
The Works Kit- this has a good range of sensory profiles covered from 'soft' to strong input with our spikey
-
Hand rollers in 100, 180 & 250gms. 300gm avail from end of Nov 2020
- PLUS individual fidgets - the Small (great to assist with hand writing development) jumbo, mega 20
- Necklace caterpillar (in black) - wonderful 'on hand' fidget. Always there when needed. Plenty of clinicians actually wear these to support themselves throughout the day as well.
- Kaiko lanyard which we have had custom made to clip multiple fidgets too, including the ability to detach the bottom section off easily.
- Spikey for wrists in each of the 4 sizes. High sensory input and also can assist minimise picking /cutting /self harming behaviours. We will have a 5th size (XXL) in early 2021 for larger wrists and ankles.
- Magnetic board - great for early literacy & is also a great sensory tool. Many liken it to popping bubble wrap, but better lol. We find many adults purchase this fro themselves, ie its not just for kids.
- LCD boards - the 10” LCD boards are fabulous as a learning and practice tool for primary, for those with learning challenges, as a communication tool as well as fun & engaging activities. (see description on product page)
- Japanese face squishy - robust, black and suitable as soft sensory input without being childish.
- MDI Smooshos Jumbo squishy - robust as far as squishes go and feel A-M-A-Zing.
- Finger popper set - great for finger strength.
- Stretchy sand - very sensory.
Our tools really come into their own for teens and adults but are suitable for 3 plus. We have even developed a range to help with harm minimisation. We love working closely with a range of clinicians and organisations, as well as families & individuals and welcome any feedback , questions or comments.
We are Melbourne based and I regularly attend schools and practices for team meetings to show the range and discuss clinical benefits & uses as well as speak to how the use of sensory tools positively impacts both mental health, focus and supports the way the brain functions. If not based in Melbourne I can also do this via zoom or phone.
Listen to what some clinicians are saying about our products:
We are happy custom design clinical kits for your workplace tailored to those you work with. To do this its best to chat with me either via email or phone.
