Sensory Products for Autism

Multisensory Products for Autism

Our sensory products for autism target a variety of senses. The most commonly targeted are visual, auditory and tactile senses, but sensory products that are olfactory or target the proprioceptive sense can also be very beneficial. Have a look at soft play for autism, for more on how to stimulate the proprioceptive sense.

Products that allow users to control their environment are also ideal for autism because it allows them to make their surroundings work around them and be comfortable. Check out our IRiS range, which uses different types of controllers to affect wind-makers, light spreaders and soundboards, for example.

We also have a great range of sensory items for autistic children, including a collection of sensory rooms for children.

Autism Calming Products

While the development of skills and general comfort are great benefits of sensory products for autism, they can also function as autism calming products. Individuals with autism can become overstimulated by their environment or by the amount of information their brain is trying to process, which can lead to frustration or a meltdown.

For example, using soft lighting can help by reducing the sensory input of bright lights, and mesmerising sensory products such as a bubble tube or fibre optic strands can help distract the individual’s brain by giving them something to focus on. 

At Experia, we pride ourselves on offering a varied range of high-quality sensory products for autism (as well as for many other needs and disabilities).
