Children who are tactile defensive can benefit from playing with the three gentle stimulation choices offered on the Visual & Hearing Impaired Activity Center. Children have total control over which stimulus they activate and how long it operates. The soothing nature of the stimulation makes this toy more inviting to a tactile-defensive child then "messy" and "sticky" sensations. A good introduction to tactile stimulation.
