Watch a student with Severe Physical Disabilities as she uses a customized "fidget" toy, to increase her active exploration of sensory input and encourage her use of her more involved hand/arm.

  • Hi - thanks for the link to your blog! I wanted to let you know I made my own for a girl with cortical blindness. Was WONDERFUL! Part of why she hits and as said is the stimulation part / not knowing what is going on in the classroom. The other part is her position was atrocious. Like horrible posterior pelvic sitting and NO foot rest - dangling feet about 4 inches off the ground. I winced when I saw her! Positioning is good now. I also used spongy hair rollers (took out plastic part)

  • @eeploo Using spongy hair rollers sounds great; I just have the old velcro ones from the 80's and they don't feel too soft! Keep sharing ideas. Thx, K.

  • If you look at my blog you can search for a belt idea for keeping chewey toys handy. Glad to talk to another OT in the trenches!

  • What a great idea! Love the fact that inexpensive, easy to get materials are used.
