Abilitations Integrations Tote Around Hound Weighted Lap Animal, Multiple Colors, 10" L x 6" W
This 5-lb (2.3kg) Tote Around Hound is specifically made to provide input and stability, enabling a child to attend and focus. Using weight to provide proprioceptive feedback is effective for grounding children with autism, sensory integration disorders and many other neurological challenges. Improvements have been noted in reducing rocking behaviors, maintaining 90 hip flexion, decreased leg-wrapping around the chair, and reducing the incidence of standing during fine motor activities. These critters are best utilized under the supervision of an occupational therapist or teacher for 20 minutes at a time, or as recommended. Animals are 10" x 6" (25cm x 15cm). Color may vary.
