SpaceKraft Sensory Room Vibroacoustic Lounger Chair
The SpaceKraft Sensory Room Vibroacoustic Lounger Chair is a soft play chair with a speaker built-in to the seat that provides soothing tactile sensations and resonance designed for people with sensory processing disorders. The chair is extremely comfortable, deep-seated and firm-backed with very soft edges, making it ideal for snuggling into.
What's Included?
- 1 x Lounger Chair
- 1 x Seat Amplifier
Benefits of Sensory Vibration
Vibration targets the bodies proprioceptive system by providing sensory stimulation deep within the muscles and joints, causing relaxation and improving body awareness. This is particularly for individuals who experience spasticity such as people with cerebral palsy.
What Are the Benefits of the Integrated Music Therapy?
Research has shown that music therapy can help children develop or improve particular skills like shared attention. It might help autistic children and children with intellectual disabilities more than typically developing children.
Great for Tactile Hypersensitivity
Tactile hypersensitivity can make it challenging to interact with your environment, when even the texture of the clothes on your skin is deeply unsettling it becomes difficult to concentrate on essential activities. The material of the Vibroacoustic Lounger Chair is designed to avoid overstimulating people who are particularly sensitive to different textures.
Encourage a Learning State
Providing full body or targeted vibration along with vestibular input can bring those children into a relaxed, yet focused state where they can pay attention in order to learn new skills, engage with others and use their bodies safely.
Improves ASD Socialisation
In a study done by The University of Montreal, it was discovered that that 8 - 12 weeks of music intervention using tools such as vibroacoustic furniture can improve parent-reported social communication, FQoL and intrinsic brain connectivity in school-age children, thus supporting the use of vibroacoustic treatment as a therapeutic tool for individuals with ASD.
Bluetooth Compatible
The in-built speaker can be connected to your phone or tablet through Bluetooth, making choosing music for the chair easy and convenient. There is also a standard 3.5mm jack lead if you wish to connect to the speaker without Bluetooth.
Deeply Vibrating Resonating Speaker
The vibrating speaker sends deep bass notes resonating throughout the chair, achieving a result similar to that of an electronic massage chair. The deep sensory stimulation provided is great for relaxing muscles and creating a calming environment.
Understanding the Neuroscience
When the brain receives sensory input from vibration, it sends motor signals back down to the muscles telling them to react. This transmission of information is a great way to strengthen the neural connection responsible for causing the body to respond motorically to registered sensory input.
What Constitutes the Proprioceptive System?
The proprioceptive system is located in our muscles and joints and provides us with a sense of body awareness and detects/controls force and pressure. It plays an important regulatory role in sensory processing as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory stimuli.
Available in a Wide Range of Colours
The Sensory Vibroacoustic Lounger Chair is available in a choice of fifteen colours to suit different sensory rooms. You can select your preferred colour from the drop-down menu above when ordering.
