What Senses Do Sensory Devices Engage?

Sensory products target different sensory systems to soothe, stimulate and encourage individuals to explore and manage their senses. Add toys from each category to your sensory room to address a variety of needs.

Smell

Our olfactory products stimulate the sense of smell. Scented toys help children and adults recognize and tolerate scents and stimulate memory. Some olfactory products include:

• Scented dough that the user can flatten, knead and roll to feel calm while developing motor skills.
• Scented pencils that encourage scent recognition and creativity.
• Scented markers that establish connections between scents and colors.
• Scented chewies that develop oral motor skills, create scent associations and provide stress relief.
• Scented bubbles that develop attention skills and engage multiple senses.

Visual

Visual products help with relaxation, learning and visual tracking, so children and adults can stay calm while developing essential skills. Our visual toys include:

• Puzzles that help develop critical thinking and spatial awareness skills.
• Liquid motion toys that move with touch.
• Light and movement projectors that project lights and play music.
• Spirographs that create geometric drawings.
• Bubble tubes with bubble displays for visual development and color recognition.
• Mazes that encourage problem-solving and critical thinking.

Touch

Tactile toys stimulate the user’s tactile sensors, which can improve sensory regulation and mood. Some deep touch and pressure tools from Enabling Devices include:

• Vibrating massagers to encourage touch and provide stress relief.
• Skin massagers to soothe and calm.
• Weighted lap pads that promote focus and attention.
• Ball pits that create an all-body, immersive tactile experience.

Hearing and Sound

Auditory sensory devices help children and adults who are sensitive to auditory input by increasing their comfort with different sounds. Some auditory products include:

• Boom whackers that develop auditory processing skills in a fun way.
• Drums to encourage musical appreciation and develop auditory skills.

• Earplugs to block sounds, improving concentration and supporting focus and comfort.

• Bubble blowers to control breath, shape lips and provide visual stimulation.
• Electric toothbrushes that promote oral hygiene while stimulating the senses.
• Horns and whistles that produce sound while exercising facial muscles.
• Chewelry like bracelets and necklaces that are safe for children to chew.
