Sensory Play Equipment

Sensory play equipment is designed to provide sensory input and feedback for those with special needs. It helps calm the body and mind and is also an effective way to channel fidgeting into a constructive way. 

Neurodivergent children and adults are usually acutely aware of their senses and this play equipment is a safe way to introduce them to sensory feedback in a safe way. 

Sensory play equipment is typically great for children and adults with sensory processing disorders. These could include vestibular input issues, ASD, ADHD and Autism. 

Unfortunately, dementia is a condition that many in elderly care experience. There is no cure for dementia, and it affects thinking, memory and behaviour, which can have adverse effects on a person’s standards of living. Those suffering from this condition can require a lot of support to lead fulfilling lives and engage with the people around them, as well as the ones they love. 

With our dementia aids available in Australia, you can help someone suffering from dementia with these benefits: 

• Positive Thinking
• Memory Improvement
• Sociable Behaviour 

By having these aids, a member of the family who is suffering from dementia can receive support through physical aids. You can help them with a range of conditions associated with dementia.

There are many examples of sensory play equipment that have great positive effects on children with sensory processing disorders. 

A fantastic type of sensory play equipment are therapy/pod swings. This type of equipment forms a cocoon shape around the child, giving a feeling of comfort and safety. By gently rocking back and forth, the inertia teaches them about movement of forces on the body in a relaxing way. 

Our range of spring-free trampolines also give a fun way to play that involves moving the entire body. As they bounce, there are no springs to get caught in and a net surrounds the sides so there is no danger of falling out. 

For children with autism, the way in which they receive sensory feedback is different to a neurotypical person. This difference varies in each unique case as autism occurs on a vast spectrum. It can be scary, especially as a child, to grow up perceiving things differently to others. 

That's why sensory toys for autistic children are a great way to slowly introduce their senses to different stimuli in an environment they can control. By swinging, jumping, squeezing or using motor functions with specific feedback, they can learn how to react in a safe way.
