Senseez Vibrating Cushion

  • Sensory
  • Description

    These colourful, lightweight, fun-shaped vibrating cushions offer a gentle sensation when they are squeezed or sat on, relaxing, calming or soothing the body.

    While they’re great for any kids with energy, the Senseez sensory cushions make ideal special needs cushions, especially for children with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. The vibrating cushions can calm kids who need more sensory feedback or help train hypersensitive kids to tolerate more sensations.

    • Educators should consider talking with all children about how and why sensory equipment is used at the service
