Sensory Vibrating Neck Pillow | NDIS Calming Aid

Ease tension and regulate emotions with the Special Supplies Sensory Vibrating Neck Pillow. This plush, bendable cushion is a specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Anxiety, or high muscle tone in the neck and shoulders.

Stress and sensory overload often manifest as physical tension in the neck and shoulders. This pillow targets that area directly. With a battery-powered vibrating core wrapped in soft memory foam and velvet, it delivers soothing proprioceptive input. This vibration helps stimulate the muscles and the vagus nerve area, promoting a "rest and digest" response to calm the user down.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Targeted Regulation: Unlike a lap pad, this device sits around the neck, providing "hands-free" sensory input. This allows the participant to receive calming therapy while engaging in other tasks like schoolwork, eating, or reading.

Managing Travel Anxiety: Car rides and public transport are common triggers for sensory overload. Wearing this vibrating pillow during transit can help ground the participant, reducing travel-related anxiety and behavioural escalations.

Soothing Physical Tension: For users who hold stress physically (hunching shoulders) or have high muscle tone (Cerebral Palsy), the gentle vibration and memory foam support help relax tight muscles and improve comfort.

Tactile Comfort: The ultra-plush velvet cover is gentle on sensitive skin, acting as a comforting "security object" that is socially acceptable to wear during travel or in cinema settings.

Key Features & Benefits

Bendable Design: The flexible 76cm length allows the pillow to be wrapped snugly around the neck, draped over a shoulder, or hugged against the chest for versatile comfort.
Vibrating Core: Delivers consistent, gentle vibrations to soothe the nervous system and distract from anxious thoughts.
Memory Foam Fill: Moulds to the contours of the body, providing ergonomic support for the head and neck.
Portable Calm: Wireless and battery-operated (3 x AAA), making it perfect for use in wheelchairs, cars, or waiting rooms where power outlets aren't available.
Soft Velvet Texture: Provides additional tactile soothing for sensory seekers who find comfort in rubbing soft fabrics.
