Why Sensory Direct?

Sensory Direct started out designing weighted blankets after one of their founders had a child who was diagnosed with autism. They’ve since grown exponentially and branched out into all things sensory management. They’re an industry staple who understand exactly what it’s like to manage and live with ASD conditions.

Who Are Sensory Therapy Weights Designed For?

Sensory Direct manufactured their Therapy Weights for use with both children and adults, as their proprioceptive feedback provides extra sensory input for any individual with an ASD condition. They are ideal for wearing whilst handwriting and for supporting hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Due to the range of sizes and ease of application, the Sensory Therapy Weights are ideal for use in a wide range of environments. They are great for providing additional support in classrooms and during physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions.

How Do the Sensory Therapy Weights Work?

When worn on the ankle or wrist, Sensory Therapy Weights provide proprioception deep pressure input that in turn increases kinesthetic feedback and sensory awareness. This helps the wearer to focus on the position of the wrist or ankle, as well as their movement and associated responses. This way, it provides an increased awareness for the wearer of their own actions.
