Sensory Chair

The challenge

To provide safe and appropriate sensory input for individuals who require this input to function and complete daily tasks while sitting.

Who it helps

Those in need of sensory input while seated

How it works

Our solution will provide sensory input for back and forth motion while seated which will allow for the client to gain the necessary input for them to complete their daily tasks and increase focus.

We are offering a stable chair with a built-in bungee backing to help the client gain the sensory input while in a sitting position.

Tools needed

Protective glasses

Measurement tool

Clamps
