Building Capacity & Independence
- Visual Tracking Support: The ultra-lightweight fabric falls slowly through the air, providing participants with oculomotor challenges the time needed to successfully visually track and catch the item.
- Tactile Desensitisation: Made from exceptionally soft, silky material that provides gentle, non-threatening input for participants with severe tactile defensiveness or sensory aversions.
- Gross Motor Development: Encourages large, sweeping arm movements and crossing the midline, assisting in the development of bilateral coordination and spatial awareness.
- High-Contrast Colour Sorting: The set includes six bright, distinct primary and secondary colours, offering an engaging medium for cognitive categorisation and colour recognition tasks.
- Durable Therapy Construction: Features securely hemmed edges to prevent fraying and withstand the rigours of daily occupational therapy exercises and active sensory play.
Frequently Bought Together
Support critical developmental milestones and provide soothing sensory input with the 12-Piece Tactile Sensory Scarf Set. Classified as low cost assistive technology, these ultra-lightweight, silky squares are specifically designed to assist NDIS participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyspraxia, or Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) who require safe, engaging tools for capacity building.
Standard therapy tools like heavy balls can be intimidating or move too quickly for individuals with delayed reaction times or oculomotor challenges. Because these scarves are incredibly light, they fall slowly through the air, giving participants the crucial time needed to visually track their trajectory and successfully coordinate a catch. Beyond motor skills, the exceptionally soft, silky fabric offers gentle, non-threatening tactile feedback. This provides a calming sensory experience for those who are easily overstimulated, or acts as a safe medium for tactile desensitisation exercises for participants with touch aversions.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
-
Visual Tracking & Focus: The slow, floating descent of the fabric allows participants with ADHD or visual processing difficulties to practice tracking an object smoothly across their field of vision without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
-
Gross Motor Skill Development: Encourages large, sweeping arm movements, reaching, and stretching. This assists participants with low muscle tone or dyspraxia in developing bilateral coordination and the ability to "cross the midline."
-
Tactile Sensory Regulation: The smooth, skin-friendly texture provides soothing sensory input. It can be used to ground an overstimulated nervous system or gently introduce touch to participants with severe tactile defensiveness.
-
Cognitive Categorisation: The inclusion of six bright, distinct colours provides a practical medium for cognitive therapy tasks, such as colour sorting, matching, and object permanence exercises.

-
Slow-Falling Dynamics: The ultra-lightweight material acts like a parachute, slowing down movement to help participants build hand-eye coordination at an accessible pace.
-
Durable Hemmed Edges: Professionally finished edges prevent the fabric from fraying during rigorous occupational therapy exercises or active gross motor play.
