Benefits of Deep Pressure Input

02 Nov 2016
When we put together the Sensory Room at the main Kalix building, we tried to accommodate all areas of sensory integration to create a relaxing environment that could fulfill a variety of needs. So far the room has been a success, but we noticed that we were missing products for pressure seekers. Recently, we added a massage chair and weighted items for more accessible deep pressure input alongside the Squeeze Machine.     Research has shown therapeutic benefits of deep pressure input among people with conditions like ASD, Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and varying developmental disabilities.    The article, The Science Behind Tjacket, by Associate Professor Kenneth Poon eloquently...
