Use this fun and engaging Hot Dog therapy tool in your occupational therapy or classroom setting to use as part of a sensory diet for children with conditions that affect the sensory system.
Children who seek deep pressure therapy will benefit from the weight aspect of the Weighted Hot Dog Proprioceptive Activity for Play Therapy. Together with the chunks of foam that help position the client, the Hamburger uses deep pressure therapy to help regulate the sensory system. When pressure is applied to the joints, skin, ligaments, and muscles, the brain releases stress-relieving hormones that promote calmness and focus. This proprioceptive input helps clients, especially those with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), to develop body awareness and improve motor control. For clients who tend to get overwhelmed by too much or too little sensory input, the Weighted Hot Dog calms the senses to help improve sleep and focus, while also preventing meltdowns.
