Pressure Activated Vibration Cushion

Description

Pressure-activated vibrating cushions can be held, sat on, laid on or leaned against to provide sensory input that improves focus and attention.

They are a wonderful cause and effect resource and allow users to decide when they receive the sensory input and when it stops.

Cushions measure approximately 30 cm square.
