Therapy sandbags
Our gorgeous, locally handmade Sandbags are perfect for babies and children. They are beautifully made in 3 panels to maintain their shape.
Sandbags assist your child to maintain positions such as sitting, tummy time, and kneeling. They provide deep pressure ‘proprioception’ which improves posture, focus and midline awareness. Sandbags also provide sensory integration and have the same effect as a weighted lap blanket which helps to calm kids who have difficulty sitting still. Great for seated fine motor activities, meal times and homework time. We currently stock 5kg Sandbags Please contact us if you would like to purchase and arrange a time to pick up. $55 (postage available $25) |
Thera-pressure brush
The Wilbarger Protocol is a therapy program designed to reduce sensory or tactile defensiveness.
Children who exhibit symptoms of tactile defensiveness are extremely sensitive to touch. They often fear or resist being touched, have difficulty transitioning between activities, and often don't tolerate messy play or different textures on their hands or feet. The soft bristles of these brushes provide a therapeutic combination of deep pressure and tactile stimulation to help self-regulate, calm down and improve focus. $15 (postage available $5) |

The Sensory Rollercoaster BOOK
‘The Sensory Rollercoaster’ takes you as a parent into the complexities of sensory processing difficulties and provides effective fun filled games for your children with challenges in how they deal with day-to-day sensory challenges. It is the Story of How Their Sensory Systems Can Impact Your Child’s Daily Life.
We know that Play is the way for your child to learn all day. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports fine and gross motor skills, language development, cognitive growth, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
Sensory Processing Difficulties may occur in each sensory system: Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Smell, Taste, Vestibular, Proprioception, and Interoception, and symptoms may vary depending on subtype. That is why Sensory Processing Difficulties can be so difficult to understand and diagnose depending on if your child at a given moment in time has a ‘little cup’ that overflows easily or a ‘big cup’ that constantly needs to be filled. If as parents we can understand our child’s sensory needs, it will communicate a sense of safety, foster trust, and consolidate bonding with our children.
The Sensory Rollercoaster is the basic premise of play with your child based on giving you an understanding of sensory principles and its possible malfunctions.
