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!

Concepts: Things that Go Together
Matching things that go together is a challenging cognitive skill for children with developmental delays to learn. It involves making a leap from, "this ball is the same as this ball", to "the ball and the bat go together". Things That Go Together uses clearly illustrated two piece puzzles to help children master this important developmental concept. The difficulty level can be adjusted by presenting either more or less options. For example: Does the fish go with the fishing rod or the tree? You can keep adding more choices to make the difficulty level match your child's level of learning.
