Sensory body socks, also known as compression socks or compression garments, are designed to provide a gentle, constant pressure to the body. This pressure can provide a number of benefits for children, such as:
- Calming: The pressure can have a calming effect on children who have sensory processing disorder or autism, helping them to focus and feel more in control.
- Improved proprioception: Proprioception is the sense of the position and movement of the body in space. Children who have difficulty with proprioception can benefit from the pressure provided by sensory body socks, which can help them to improve their body awareness and coordination.
- Improved sleep: The pressure provided by sensory body socks can also help children to sleep better by reducing the sensation of restless legs and promoting relaxation.
- Increased focus: The gentle pressure provided by the socks can help children to focus more on their tasks by providing a sense of security and grounding, which in turn can help them to feel more confident and secure in their learning environment.
It’s important to note that Sensory body socks are not a cure and the results may vary depending on the children, it’s better to consult with an occupational therapist or a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
