Anxiety Relief Through Pressure
The Snuggle Snake is 2.5 lbs, perfect for pediatric use. The comfortable design of the snake lies around the neck and creates a gentle pressure that helps to release serotonin and dopamine, chemicals that help the body to relax and ease muscles. Anxiety can make the body physically exhausted and muscles tense and tight, but the Snuggle Snake can help to relieve tired muscles and calm the body.
Benefits for Sensory Processing Disorders
Those with ADD, ADHD, cerebral palsy and other disabilities can find benefit in the weight from the Snuggle Snake in placing them in the moment and helping to calm. Constant sensory intake can make a person feel overloaded, as sight, sound, taste, movement, gravity, and touch can be a lot for the brain to process at once.
People with sensory processing disorders can feel overwhelmed by the amount of information coming into the brain. The Snuggle Snake helps to create a feeling of stasis and calm the body.
Focusing Manipulation
The Snuggle Snake can also be placed on the lap for manipulation as a type of fidget. Light manipulation of an object during certain activities can help to increase focus and make it easier to stay seated.
The Snuggle Snake can be moved by bending, petting, or rubbing while remaining seated as a way to move without distraction for the user.
Fun Design
The Snuggle Snake features soft minky back (the brown fabric) and a fun geometric fabric on the bottom. The small size allows the Snuggle Snake to be easily transported and used in therapy, schools, or home as a therapeutic tool for restlessness and anxiety. The Poly-Pellets beads won't shift around and stay distributed evenly.
