Big Hug - Sensory Therapy, Deep Pressure Positioning Aid

This is an informative video on the Big Hug which is a sensory therapy, deep pressure positioning aid. The Big Hug was ergonomically designed to comfort, calm and redirect the energy of children and adults living with Autism or who are Cognitively Disabled and would benefit from deep pressure therapy. The Big Hug has been found to be effective because it allows the caregiver to simultaneously apply different amounts of soft, wrap- around pressure to six separate areas of the body. The caregiver or user is then able to release the Big Hug's wraps after the desired amount of individualized sensory needs are obtained.

We used to roll my son in a blanket, it helped but relied on him to communicate when he'd had enough. This is great that they can get out when they are ready. I made his a special vest when he was little with pennies sewn into the lining, he loved it. That was 14 years ago. So glad this type of therapy has advanced and is no longer considered strange.

@onlyqwerty1 Thanks so much for viewing our video and for you comments! :)

Many people think autistic persons generally hate being touched by another person or by a thing.

Almost all autistics HATE punctual touches, like getting poked by someone.

But many autistic persons like deep pressure (rather strong pressure on wide areas of the body). It calms them down and makes them feel good.

I am autistic, and I like deep pressure very much.

It may sound crazy to non-autistic persons, but I love lying under a box filled with ~130lbs (60kg) of paper...

@Coiltec I don't think it's crazy, and I'm non-autistic, I actually think people need something like that every now and then

I like that the kids can release themselves if they want.

@daftpunk3494 - Obviously you have never met someone who resorted to rolling their child up in a carpet or gym mat and sat on them? Sounds unreal, but it's REAL! And always at their child's request! Obviously, this will sound crazy to some, but unfortunately, it is reality to others.

I wouldn't want anyone to put my child in this. I could see using it at home but not trusting others to use it properly.
