Fidget toys are a useful tool to assist in managing some of the symptoms associated with anxiety. Individuals with anxiety typically fidget and make small movements when feeling anxious and restless. In an overstimulating environment, fidget toys provide an outlet for these movements, redirecting concentration. Fidget toys assists those with autism to keep their hands busy, which may help counteract symptoms associated with the condition. While the autism spectrum is wide and includes symptoms ranging in type and severity, some people with this condition experience sensory aspects in an altered way and benefit from repetitive patterns. Fidget toys may help those with autism focus on a specific sensory response, relieving nervous energy and stress. By centring on a particular repetitive movement, they can improve concentration levels and filter out information that is not relevant. While we all experience stress from time to time, there are certain conditions — including anxiety, autism, OCD and PTSD — in which this symptom is exacerbated. A racing heart rate, muscle spasms, and difficulty breathing are all symptoms of stress. While stress relief toys will not fix the underlying cause of these conditions, they can help relieve symptoms by redirecting concentration and reminding your body to relieve tension. At Special Needs Resources, we pride ourselves on providing as wide a range of products as possible to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
