Just as no two children are the same, no two sensory diets are the same either! Each child thrives and refocuses on different activities.

Looking at Gonge products, they run rather expensive sometimes but they have very useful products when you have a student who needs extra sensory input and I really enjoy what they have to offer. Their river-stone isn't all that expensive, running at about $63 for a set. They allow the child to improve their coordination and balance while also giving them the sensory input break they may need by allowing them to step away from the overwhelming situation for a few moments.

A steamroller is one of my favorite sensory resources because I feel like it can drastically change things for a student in a very short amount of time. They can run upwards of $500 to buy it online but it is also something that may be able to be made by the right people. This allows the child to feel the deep pressure that some kids need in order to bring them down to a level at which they can function again. Sometimes a child needs to be able to feel that pressure to release everything that they're holding in.

Weighted blankets have recently become much more popular than they used to be. They can get rather expensive as far as blankets go but they start out around $50-100 depending highly on the size, quality and weight. It also happens to be a product that you could make if that is an easier route to take. These blankets allow a child with an easy way to calm their nerves when the setting is too much for them to process. Just by setting this blanket on their lap, the pressure relieves some of their sensitivity to the current situation they're in.

A Fold and Go Trampoline can be purchased for $100. Relatively speaking, I do not find this to be an outrageous price considering things for sensory input get very expensive, very fast. Using these allows your students to get heavy physical input in a relatively short period of time. They can get a lot of their built up energy out quickly by jumping. Another nice thing about this particular trampoline is that it is easy to set up and store.

They can also hold it and roll it up and down their arms, legs, chest, etc to gain that sensory input through everywhere on their bodies.

As a child who didn't really suffer from sensory issues, I always loved playing with pin art. It is very fun and can be very soothing for some people. They can be purchased for only about $15 so they're very affordable. This allows for a heavy duty, tactile object that can easily give out sensory input.

I love the idea of a PlayPanel! One can be purchased online for around $300. Instead of finding the funds to purchase one, some of these different sections that it has, can always be bought separately for a much lower price. Although these can run very expensive, they offer a lot of different options on how one's tactile needs may be met. They allow the child time to explore many different things such as a mirror, a chalk board, a velcro section, and more in order to bring them down to a level at which they're able to function.

An aquapod can be bought from many different places including Amazon for around $30. This allows the child to jump around, or use their hands to splash around, moving the fish on the inside of the pod. The children can feel the water move underneath of them allowing for the child to get that tactile sensory need met all while feeling like they're playing a game or having fun.
