The loud aerosol noise, cold and sticky tactile sensation, and overwhelming chemical smells can cause significant distress. These patches provide a silent, non-contact, and sensory-friendly alternative, removing a key source of anxiety. </p> <p> <strong>Increasing Community & Social Participation:</strong> By eliminating the sensory distress associated with insect protection, these patches enable participants to more comfortably and safely engage in outdoor community activities. This supports goals related to attending school, playing in parks, participating in sport, or joining family on outings, reducing isolation and promoting physical wellbeing. </p> <p> <strong>Promoting Independence & Self-Management:</strong> The simple, stick-on application allows a participant to manage their own personal safety without needing to endure a distressing sensory experience. This fosters greater independence and reduces the reliance on support workers or family members to coax them through an uncomfortable routine before leaving the house. </p> <h3> <strong>Meeting 'Reasonable & Necessary' Criteria</strong> </h3> <p> These patches align with the NDIS 'Reasonable and Necessary' criteria by being a highly cost-effective support that is directly related to a participant's disability-related needs. </p> <p> They represent excellent <strong>value for money</strong> by providing a simple, effective tool that removes a significant barrier to health and community participation.
