Disc O Sit Cushion

Description

These cushions can be an effective way to provide children with sensory input while they are seated, as the inflatable material allows children to wriggle.

Inclusion Possibilities

• Can provide support to enable a child to access and participate in seated experiences with their peers
• Can provide sensory input to help calm or increase levels of arousal to enable increased opportunities for engagement and participation

Things to consider

• Educators should consult with therapists and parents about the types of sensory experiences a child may be seeking or avoiding and how this may impact the child’s participation and engagement
• Educators should consider how sensory equipment will be used within the care environment to support children’s participation in the program and facilitate peer interaction
• Educators should consider talking with all children about how and why sensory equipment is used at the service

Storage and use

• This equipment can be used indoors and outdoors in dry conditions but must be stored indoors to minimise surface damage
