OT-recommended therapy swings, compression swings, and vestibular swing equipment for sensory regulation, calming input, and gross motor development. Used by pediatric occupational therapists at Sensory Therapy Place in Brewer and Scarborough, Maine.
OT-curated therapeutic tools, activities, and equipment.
Based on Winnie Dunn’s framework, identifying how your child processes sensory input is the first step in providing the right tools for emotional regulation and progress.
Needs more sensory input to register it. They might constantly touch things, chew on objects, or seem to never sit still. They use movement to stay regulated.
Under-registers input but doesn't actively seek it. They might seem checked out, miss cues, or have high pain tolerance. They need rich sensory environments to wake up the system.
Registers input very quickly and actively limits exposure. They might cover their ears, refuse certain clothing textures, or avoid crowded places to prevent overwhelm.
Highly sensitive to input but doesn't always know how to avoid it. They notice everything, get distracted easily, and can become dysregulated in busy environments.
Not all fidgets are created equal. A "Seeker" might need heavy resistance putty, while a "Sensor" might need a quiet, smooth tactile stone. Our clinical team has curated the exact tools we use in-clinic to support anxiety, focus, and system regulation.
