Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
The loud noise and harsh vibration of traditional hair clippers can turn a necessary grooming task into a distressing and overwhelming experience, especially for individuals with sensory sensitivities. Our Sensory-Friendly Hair Clipper is engineered to solve this problem. It provides a quiet, gentle, and safe way to manage haircuts at home, transforming a potentially stressful event into a calm and manageable one.
Ultra-Quiet Operation (<50 dB): The precision motor operates at a volume below 50 decibels—quieter than a normal conversation—to minimize auditory stimulation and prevent sensory overload.
Fully Washable (IPX7 Waterproof): The entire device is waterproof, allowing for simple, hygienic cleaning under running water and offering the option of a calmer haircut experience during bath time.
Safe Ceramic Blades: The skin-friendly R-angle ceramic blade is designed to cut hair cleanly without pulling or snagging, and its rounded edges help prevent nicks and reduce tactile anxiety.
Cordless & Lightweight Design: The rechargeable, cordless design eliminates the risk of tangled cords and allows for greater freedom of movement, making the haircut process quicker and safer.
This clipper is a vital therapeutic tool for NDIS participants by:
Managing Sensory Needs: For individuals with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or ADHD, this device's low noise and vibration significantly reduce the sensory input that can lead to distress, meltdowns, or refusal.
Reducing Anxiety & Phobias: The quiet and gentle operation helps to build trust and desensitize individuals who have developed anxiety or phobias around haircuts, allowing a necessary grooming task to be completed with less emotional strain.
Enabling At-Home Care: It empowers parents, carers, and support workers to provide haircuts in a familiar, controlled, and low-stress environment, avoiding the often overwhelming sensory experience of a commercial salon.
This Sensory-Friendly Hair Clipper is a perfect example of effective low cost assistive technology. It is a fundamental tool that helps a participant manage the sensory challenges associated with a crucial daily living activity, directly supporting NDIS goals for independence and wellbeing.
This item may be claimable under your NDIS funding (e.g., Core Supports - Consumables, or Assistive Technology). We strongly recommend consulting with your Plan Manager, Support Coordinator, or Allied Health Professional (such as an OT) to ensure it aligns with your plan's goals.
