What Is the Tunnel Made From?
The fibre optic tunnel is made from hardwearing, nylon-reinforced vinyl. This material is extremely durable, has a gentle and attractive texture that is designed to appeal to people who have hypersensitive or hyposensitive tactility, and is simple to wipe clean.
A Relaxing Way to Play
When climbing through the tunnel, you can lay on the tunnel floor and reach out to play with the fibre optic lights. Lying down in a tent that's designed to reduce sensory overstimulation provides a relaxing refuge for people with sensory processing disorders, giving them a place to relax and de-stress.
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 the Fibre Optic Lighting 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.
Beneficial for People with SPD
Sensory processing disorder is a condition in which the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. Limiting the amount of sensory input to individual sources can help isolate which particular senses the user finds difficult, helping to find coping strategies and identify possible trigger points for discomfort.

Advantages of LED Fibre Optic Lights
The fibre optic light source is cool running thanks to the LED technology, which is great for interactivity because it ensures there is no risk of the user being burned. LED lights also offer great value for money because they don't need to have their lamps replaced periodically.
