How Do Sensory Toys Help People with Autism?

Sensory toys help children with autism to relax, focus and maintain an emotional equilibrium when dealing with potentially challenging situations. Sensory visual and tactile toys are also a great way to encourage group play sessions that help to develop social learning skills such as sharing, negotiating and planning. 

The Benefits of Fibre Optic Lights

Playing with fibre optics is a relaxing and enchanting sensory experience that can help provide sensory stimulation in a controlled, safe environment. Fibre optics provide a stimulating, yet safe interaction thanks to the extremely small amount of heat generated. 

How Can Fibre Optics Be Used?

One technique that can be employed in a sensory environment is to use the fibre optic strands as a weighted brush. This brushing motion has a calming effect and can be used as a reassuring tactile experience for people with sensory processing disorders.

Suitable for Both Hyposensitivity and Hypersensitivity

Incorporating the use of visual sensory toys into sensory stimulation rooms can help children who are hypersensitive or hyposensitive be calmer and more focused, allowing them to learn better through play. The wide range of different colours and levels of interactivity provided by the toys in the tub ensures that there's appropriate items for children with a wide spectrum of different sensory needs. 

Teaches Emotional Regulation Through Play

Visual and tactile sensory toys are designed to help children with autism and sensory processing disorders learn more about their senses and how to interact with the world around them in a way that's enjoyable. Through the use of play as an educational experience, children with autism can learn to better understand what experiences are likely to trigger overstimulation and how to manage those experiences without becoming overwhelmed. 

Safety Information

Please be advised that all SpaceKraft sensory equipment should be used under the supervision of a responsible adult.
