Product Information

Individuals are usually not over-responsive to proprioception, meaning they don't have over-reactions to this type of sensory input. We do, however, see individuals who are under-responsive or sensory craving, meaning they want more heavy work, crashing, hugs, etc. Designed for compression, the nylon and spandex blend is just a bit tighter than the others in this guide. However, if your child needs the added resistance, this is an excellent option and made for more active play times.

Stretchy, resistant walls provide a tactile means of self-referencing that improves body image and sensory integration.

What is a Sensory Body Sock?

Some individuals become easily over-stimulated by vestibular input. This can cause adverse reactions such as nausea/vomiting or irritability (among others). Some individuals seek vestibular input - constantly on the move, seeking out opportunities to spin and jump. Some manufacturers organize their products by intended age. This can give you a general idea, but most importantly, you want to make sure the length is right for your child’s height. There are other ways to offer this type of sensory input. You can use various sensory toys for autism so your child doesn’t get bored or receives the best experience possible. Covering the child’s arms, shoulders, legs, and feet, it’s designed to offer deep pressure stimulation. This stimulation encourages focus, and a sense of calmness that is perfect if your child is dealing with ADHD, autism, or other spatial sensory challenges. Practice partner yoga or with a friend in front of the mirror and try to copy each other’s poses! 3) Motor Activities

Often used in occupational therapy sessions, they provide resistance, sensory input, and body awareness while your child plays. If you feel they need that extra bit of resistance, then you can go down a size or a couple inches. If you want them to get more use out of it and not outgrow it within a year, then go up in size. If you have any doubts, simply look at the manufacturer’s sizing guide where they lay out height and age in relation to their sizes. Fabric Gentle pressure affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates heart rate, breathing, and other significant bodily functions.Try the “Superman”: Lie on your stomach on the floor, stretching your arms in front of you, lifting them up off the surface as you simultaneously lift your legs off the floor. Expand a movement activity on a swing or suspended equipment in an OT office to involve several sensory systems at once. 4) Pretend Act out the ABCs!
