Sensory Vibrating Pillow (30cm) | NDIS Calming Pressure Aid

Discover the power of a calming hug with the Sensory Pressure-Activated Vibrating Pillow. This soft, plush cushion is a specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Autism (ASD), ADHD, or high anxiety.

Unlike standard cushions, this pillow comes alive when squeezed. The pressure-activated mechanism delivers gentle, rhythmic vibrations the moment the user hugs or leans on it. This provides immediate proprioceptive and tactile feedback, which helps regulate the nervous system, reduce sensory overload, and promote a sense of calm and safety.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Sensory Regulation (Stimming): For participants who seek sensory input to stay calm (sensory seekers), the vibration provides a focused, soothing sensation. It can be used to de-escalate meltdowns or manage hyperactivity in the classroom or at home.

Cause and Effect Learning: The "squeeze to vibrate" function teaches cause-and-effect relationships, empowering the user to control their sensory environment actively.

Calming Anxiety: The vibration mimics the purring of a cat or a gentle massage. Holding the pillow against the chest or lap can lower heart rate and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety.

Tactile Comfort: Covered in ultra-plush Minky-style velvet fabric, it offers a soft, comforting texture that appeals to users with tactile sensitivities, serving as a transitional object for comfort outside the home.

Key Features & Benefits

Pressure Activated: No buttons or switches to fumble with. Simply squeeze or sit on the pillow to activate the soothing vibrations, making it accessible for users with limited fine motor skills.
Portable Calm: Measuring 30cm x 30cm, it is perfect for lap use in a wheelchair, car rides, or school assemblies where staying seated can be challenging.
Ultra-Soft Minky Cover: The velvety texture provides additional tactile soothing, making it huggable and comforting against the skin.
Wire-Free Safety: Battery operated (2 x AA), eliminating dangerous cords and allowing the pillow to be used safely in bed or on the couch.
Discrete Sensory Aid: Looks like a standard decorative pillow, allowing older children and adults to use it in social settings without drawing unwanted attention.
