Product Description

Remote Control - 5 buttoned controller:

Using the Sensory gives the user the ability to turn on and off the bubbles resulting in cause and effect learning as well as promoting visual tracking skills.
There are four coloured buttons and one central white button (to control the bubbles) on the Sensory Remote Control, it is ideal for wheelchair· users because of its portability.
Simply charge the controller when required using the included charge pack.

Remote Control - Dice

The dice is ideal for a more active sensory experience.
The soft padding of the dice allows the user to roll the dice on the floor, the colour face it lands on will change the colour of the bubble tube to that corresponding colour.
Using specially designed software the dice is able to track its movement to the colour of the bubble tube.

Sound Reactive:

Clap, stomp and shout to change the colour of this Sound Bubble Tube!
Using specially designed technology, this exciting bubble tube recognises defined noises made by the user to change its colour.
One of the most useful benefits this sensory equipment produces is the encouragement it gives to the user to be engaged and active.
The Sound Bubble Tube can be attached using a secure wall bracket or built into a soft plinth for a perfect sensory room feature.

Touch Reactive:

A Touch Bubble Tube changes colours by sensing when a user has touched it!
The bubble tube becomes immediately much more tactile and explores different senses through vibration and visual learning.
Used as part of a sensory room, Touch Bubble Tubes are great for those who want to stimulate the user and teach them about reactive actions they make.
It is ideal for those with limited motor skills and hand to eye coordination as it is reactive throughout the robust PVC tube.
The Touch Bubble Tube comes with everything you need, and no additional set-up is required for it to be touch sensitive.

Our Story

When my son was born with autism, my world changed & Sensory Direct was born

Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.

British Born Solutions

Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution.

We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. We pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will do our utmost to find you a solution that works.
