Chew Bands

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.
