Perfect for the Visually Hyposensitive
The SpaceKraft Fibre Optic Sparkleflex is particularly useful for the partially sighted and visually hyposensitive as it provides enough visual stimulation to still be seen, especially in the dark. This can create a phenomenal visual experience that can capture the attention of those who find most visual stimulation to be frustratingly underwhelming.
Creates a Highly Atmospheric Space
Using this fibre optic curtain to drape across the wall of a sensory room helps to create a magical atmosphere within the space. The softly sparkling lights twinkle like stars, encouraging a sense of dynamic movement and making the room feel more spacious.
Safe for Interactive Use
The fibre optics light strands that make up the Fibre Optic Sparklflex are designed to be safe to use. They produce a gentle amount of light, practically no heat and contain no sharp edges, encouraging safe interactive play.
Suitable for Tactile Hypersensitivity
The texture of the SpaceKraft Fibre Optic Sparklflex is designed to be suitable for people with sensory processing disorders. The fibre optic strands are smooth and gentle to prevent it from overwhelming individuals who experience tactile hypersensitivity.
What Are the Benefits of Fibre Optics?
Fibre optics offer bright, colourful visual effects that aid the understanding of cause and effect. The fibre optics have also been shown to act as a calming sensory experience, helping the user to feel relaxed and safe.
How Can Sparkleflex Fibre Optics Be Used?
One technique that can be employed in a sensory environment is to use the fibre optic strands as a weighted brush. This brushing has a calming effect and can be used as a reassuring tactile experience for people with sensory processing disorders.
Ideal for Children with Sensory Processing Disorder
Sensory processing disorder is a condition in which the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. Equipment such as the Fibre Optic LED Set is effective for treating sensory processing problems because it encourages engagement with sensory phenomenon in a controlled and safe way.
Safety Information
The SpaceKraft Fibre Optic Sparkleflex is safe to handle, but products should be used under the supervision of a professional/responsible adult at all times.
