Ted Kangaroo Unveils Innovative Sensory Products
Ted Kangaroo, a brand synonymous with sensory support products, has recently announced the launch of four new offerings, including their revolutionary
Sideways Rocker. This exciting new sensory chair is set to redefine how children interact with their environments, particularly in settings like homes and classrooms where self-regulation is crucial.
The Groundbreaking Sideways Rocker
The
Sideways Rocker is not just any sensory chair; it is the result of thorough consultations with clinicians, making it a pioneering product within its category. Designed to provide a calm and inviting space, the rocker promotes gentle side-to-side motion aimed at delivering calming vestibular input. This innovative design is appealing to children and integrates seamlessly into various environments, whether at home, in school, or during therapy sessions.
Jacob Fisch, CEO and Founder of Ted Kangaroo, emphasized the unique features of the Sideways Rocker, stating, "Combining sensory science with a design kids adore, the Sideways Rocker provides a distinct way to engage the vestibular system." The plush seat not only serves to offer comfort but also helps children feel more grounded, paving the way for playful self-regulation.
What's truly remarkable is that while many sensory chairs on the market only provide a forward-backward rocking motion, the Sideways Rocker introduces lateral movement in a contained seat. This allows children to feel safe while enjoying calming motion.
Additional Benefits of the Sideways Rocker
- - Deep Pressure Hug: The chair's padded high back and side cushions cradle the child, mimicking the reassuring sensation of a hug, which can alleviate anxiety and sensory overload.
- - Focus Enhancement: The rhythmic swaying of the rocker could help channel restless energy, proving beneficial for children with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing challenges.
- - Versatile Use: Whether in classrooms, therapy rooms, or designated calm-down corners at home, this chair is adaptable to various settings.
Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L, a council member at Ted Kangaroo, noted, "Side-to-side rocking engages a unique subset of vestibular receptors that are overlooked by conventional rocking chairs. The Sideways Rocker is an excellent tool to obtain essential sensory input anywhere it’s needed." This assertion highlights its significance not just as a product, but as a therapeutic tool that can be instrumental in assisting children to function at their best.
Additional New Products
In addition to the Sideways Rocker, Ted Kangaroo introduced three more products:
1.
Smiling Critters Squeeze Seat: Designed for multi-position sitting, it allows gentle rocking back and forth while providing vestibular input and calming compression to enhance focus and reduce anxiety.
2.
ExtraPlus Foam Sensory Chair: It utilizes shredded foam to deliver ultra-soft support that molds to the body's shape, fostering a cocoon-like environment ideal for self-soothing.
3.
ExtraPlus Sensory Triangle Chair: This product also supports sensory regulation and promotes relaxation with its soft structure, ensuring children feel secure and comfortable.
Through these carefully crafted tools, Ted Kangaroo turns sophisticated sensory science into accessible solutions that seamlessly blend therapeutic benefits with whimsical design. These products are more than mere items; they act as trusted companions in helping children develop essential skills and navigate their routines with confidence.
