Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads

The Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads encourage hand activities, making them perfect for use in a classroom, multi-sensory or therapeutic environment.

Multi-Sensory Stimulation
The brain has a propensity to seek out sensory sensations, consisting of looking, listening, smelling, touching, and tasting. When children and adults who have sensory processing disorders are exposed to sensory experiences, sensory integration takes place, which helps to improve symptoms associated with ADHD, Autism, and Aspergers. Multi-modal tools that expose the client to sight and touch, such as the Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads, helps to decrease feelings of anxiety and boredom while also helping to develop important skills such as eye-hand coordination, and to improve strength and dexterity.

How to Use Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads
The sensory pads can be placed on a surface that is conveniently within reach of the client. A teacher or occupational therapist can encourage the child to move the marble through the spade maze with their finger. Warm the multi-sensory pad in warm water or cool it in the refrigerator to expose the child to different temperatures, helping with thermal recognition abilities.

Caring for Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads
The vinyl pads are heat sealed and can be cleaned with a mild detergent. Although the gel is non-toxic, medical care should be consulted if the gel is ingested. If a tear or rip is observed in the sensory pad, it should be discarded.

Since the marble component presents a possible choking hazard, the Quad Spade Sensory Stimulation Light Box Gel Pads shouldn't be used for persons cognitively under 3 years old. Always use under the direct supervision of a caregiver.
