Elastic Body Sensory Sack with Snap Fastening
Resistance Therapy Putty with Hidden Figures
Weighted Compression Sensory Vest
Sensory compression vest with deep pressure
Special Supplies is a US brand of materials for sensory integration and for adaptations that give autonomy back. Its catalogue answers two very concrete clinical questions: how to regulate someone who seeks or avoids input, and how to let them do on their own something they currently cannot — eat, write, cut.
Sensory regulation and everyday independence
On the regulation side there is deep pressure work: the sensory compression vest and the weighted compression vest provide continuous proprioceptive input without the therapist having to intervene, the elastic body sensory sack supports body awareness work, and the sensory integration brushes cover tactile stimulation protocols.
On the autonomy side, the adaptations are small and very specific. Weighted cutlery for tremor and Parkinson’s steadies the hand at mealtimes, flexible adapted cutlery with ergonomic grips works when the issue is grip rather than tremor, adapted scissors with loop and automatic opening give cutting back to someone who cannot open their hand, and Kushy Squishy pencil grips correct the pencil grasp.
Hand strength and dexterity
For hand strength and dexterity, the six-level resistance therapy putty lets you grade load objectively and track progress session by session, and the 15-piece hand therapy kit gathers the usual rehabilitation material. The vibrating neck pillow rounds out the vibratory stimulation section.

Frequently asked questions about Special Supplies
What is Special Supplies?
It is a US brand of sensory integration and functional adaptation material. Its catalogue splits between regulation products — deep pressure, tactile and vibratory input — and adaptations that make eating, writing or cutting possible independently.
What is a deep pressure vest for?
It provides constant, containing proprioceptive input, which many people find organising and which helps bring arousal down. It is worn for set periods, not all day, and always at the therapist's discretion: it is not a weighted blanket and it does not replace intervention.
What is the difference between the two types of adapted cutlery?
The weighted cutlery adds mass to damp tremor, so it is for essential tremor or Parkinson's. The flexible cutlery with ergonomic grips solves a different problem: grip and wrist angle. You choose according to the actual limitation.
Why does therapy putty come in levels?
Because it lets you dose resistance the way you dose weight in a gym. With six levels you can start where the patient is today and step up when appropriate, and the level reached works as an objective measure of progress.
Is it only for children?
No. Much of the adaptations catalogue is designed for adults: tremor, Parkinson's, neurological damage, arthritis and age-related loss of strength. It is the sensory line that is used more with children.
Are the Special Supplies products at Logopedicum genuine?
Yes. They are genuine brand products, with updated stock, fast shipping, invoicing and support, plus a discount for registered professionals.
