Vibrating Pillow - Universal
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Ahhh! What a Soft, Wonderful Feeling!
Durable and washable corduroy vibrating pillow is pre-switch adapted. Allows children to independently enjoy the relaxing vibrations. Vibration can be a great way to become aware of different parts of the body. Some children find lying on the pillow relaxes spasticity. Assorted colours. 1/8" jack. 2 "D" batteries not included. Switch required.

Play Tip!
Children who do not move around independantly face a real challenge in learning to localize touch and find their bodies in space - important sensory integration skills. Try putting the vibrating pillow against different parts of the body. When children activate the switch, the tactile feedback helps them "find" their hands, feet, knees, backs, and more!

Accessible Art Activities: Art In Living Color!
Children with physical impairments like cerebral palsy can have a lot of trouble finding accessible art activities. Try playing with the switch adapted Gelly Paint'n'Swirl. Name each color as it is added to the picture. The child presses the switch to swirl the colors on the paper. Each colorful creation is unique!
