| "I gave a Sensory Belt to my first ADHD client, and I was truly amazed at
the instant positive reaction this boy had. He immediately expressed that he felt the
weight of the belt helped him calm his body and reduce his hyperactivity. I had him take
the belt home for use with his parents, and the next week they all reported that the belt
had continued to help him control his activity level. My client said it felt like magic.
His parents said he had only had to use the belt a few times, and that the results had
lasted longer each time." Terry Alan Hayes, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist "I tried the Sensory Belt on a 12 year old client diagnosed
with ADHD who also has Sensory Integration issues. Immediately,
he experienced more stability and the quality of his mobility was
significantly improved. In fact, my client liked the belt so much,
he asked his mother if he could keep it and wear it at home." "The Sensory Belt has had an amazing effect on my son. The belt calms
him down and allows him to be better focused so he is able to sit and color, play
games, etc. without extraneous movement. At seven years old my son asks for his belt
because he knows it's helping him. Everyone who has Sensory Integration Disorder should
have one of these." "The Sensory Belt is often worn by several of my students
for short periods of time to help them calm down and be able to
focus on their assigned tasks. Some of the students will go and
get the belt themselves when they feel the need for the weight provided
by the belt." "My son loves wearing his Sensory Belt and wears it
everyday! He even points it out to his caregiver when she is dressing
him. I can feel the difference when I'm holding his hand and we
are walking. He is much more stable and balanced. Thank you for
this great device!" "Received my Sensory Belt today and felt wonderful right away. It now
feels as if my crutches are toothpicks in my hands. I have never, in all my 55 years,
enjoyed walking as much as I do now. I'm thrilled to have a therapeutic aid which will
help me maintain the balance I need, now, and in more elderly years. The fact is that the
Sensory Belt is working great!" "During my daily tasks at work the Sensory Belt has
given me a skill that I had thought I lost over the years (me). I was able to stay focused,
less restless and my impulsiveness to "complete a task and
move on" as well as not having to move in my seat or get up
to move "just to move" every so often has decreased and
my ability to finish tasks at hand has increased. Interruptions
(either caused by me or others) are not as time consuming as they
used to, as I can re-focus in a more timely fashion. Since there is no real "cure" for ADHD, one has to
learn how manage one self. I am glad to say that the Sensory Belt
has helped me better manage my ADHD at work and at home." "I have definitely seen a difference in my clients that have been wearing the belts. I have used the Sensory Belt on 5 different clients and seen greater stability in their pelvis creating more balance and less shifting. I have also been able to adjust the tilt of their pelvis by the placement of the weight either in front or behind. I have also used the belt for simply what it is - weight - giving the client more resistance to strengthen their legs." "We have tried many things over the years to help in our
son's development. At 10 years of age he was unable to walk unassisted.
We knew the problem was his balance. After reading about the Sensory
Belt in the newspaper, we immediately ordered one online. Our son
is now walking all around the house without any help. In fact, he
constantly surprises us when he just walks into the room. We've
dreamt of this moment for ten years. So, in our mind, the Sensory
Belt truly is a miracle!" "The Sensory Belt is used to stimulate the proprioceptive system through
the use deep pressure to promote attention, focus, organization and self calming. The
weighted belt helps provide the individual with a greater sense of their body's position
in space. The belt can be used with individuals who have ADD/ADHD, Autism, PDD, Sensory
Integration Disorder (SID) and learning disabilities." "Using the Sensory Belt has helped calm one of my most difficult students." "Wearing the Sensory Belt was the first time my grandson
sat quietly through dinner in 10 years. He asked to take the belt
to school because it "holds him down" and he is able to
concentrate better." "After Jack received his belt he didn't fall as much and
was noticeably more focused during our soccer games. The belts calming
effect improved his focus to where he began learning more and playing
better. Jack would wear the belt for fifteen minutes before he would
go into the game." "Keegan had a little setback with his balance when we changed
his orthotics...all I had to do was put the Sensory Belt back on
him one time to correct the problem. ....something,huh." Lori Lovesky, Occupational Therapist OTR/L |

For infants and children who have difficulty modulating or adapting to sensory sensation sensory processing products can help. Sensory products have been found to help stimulate interaction between the brain and the senses which is crucial for healthy neurological function. Miscommunication between the brain and the senses can be regulated with the use of sensory products, weighted products, such as weighted belts, weighted blankets, and/or weighted lap pads. By stimulating the proprioceptive system sensory products help to increase neurological feedback to the brain. Seeking to encourage the nervous system to integrate sensory information through the use of these sensory products can make a dramatic impact in the development of your life. With the use of weighted sensory products you will see a rapid improvement in your ability to focus on assigned tasks. Another major area where sensory processing products are helpful, especially the weighted belt, is with teens and adults who suffer from gross motor deficits such as balance and mobility deficits. Once you are able to regulate sensory information more effectively it's just a matter of time before your new found confidence and/or legs will carry you to new heights. |
