Vibrating Pillow - Universal
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!

PLAY Tip
Protecting children with spina bifida in the pool
Swimming in the shallow end poses a special hazard for children without sensation in their legs. To ensure their safety try putting the child into a swim aid like the Dolphin and avoiding the shallow end all together. Don't forget to check the latex-status, most are latex-free.
