Sensory Tunnel

Discover the Calming Fun of Our Lycra Sensory Tunnel

Transform playtime into a world of developmental growth and sensory comfort with The OT Supplier’s 3m Multicolour Lycra Sensory Tunnel. Expertly designed to engage and support children, this versatile tunnel is a must-have for families and occupational therapists alike. Made from soft, stretchy Lycra, it provides an irresistible full-body hug, delivering essential deep pressure input and tactile stimulation. This calming sensation is invaluable for children with sensory processing differences, autism, or ADHD, helping them to regulate their nervous system and find a sense of calm amidst their day.

Our Sensory Tunnel is not just for calming; it’s a powerful tool for building vital physical skills. As children crawl, push, and stretch through its length, they naturally develop their gross motor skills, body awareness, and motor planning. The full-body resistance offered by the Lycra helps to enhance proprioceptive discrimination, allowing children to better understand where their body is in space. It’s also an excellent resource for supporting the integration of primitive reflexes like ATNR, STNR, and spinal gallant reflex, contributing to overall neurological development.
