Therapeutic Deep Pressure Aid For Disabled Persons

Abstract

A therapeutic aid providing deep pressure or tactile stimulation to a person, comprising a central portion extending longitudinally the length of a person, with laterally extending flexible fingers extending from the central portion, displaced along either side of the longitudinal axis of the central portion. The flexible fingers provide multiple segments to wrap a person within the central portion and the fingers, to cocoon a person and provide sensory comfort. Individual fingers provide independent segments to individualize pressure and placement of the tactile stimulation. The present invention is engageable with other therapeutic aids such as positioning aids, wheelchairs, lift chairs, floor sitters and the like. The present invention is contemplated to act as a therapeutic aid and be calming or comforting for people with autism or other cognitive disabilities. The present invention may be made of lightweight, mold and bacteria-resistant material and be easily folded and or taken apart for storage.
