Neurodivergence Resources: Tactile Input

As we continue exploring neurodivergent resources, we've gathered some favorites for those who like tactile input.

Expanding Your Self Care (Ep 107) talks about our appreciation for hygge- the Danish concept of coziness.  These nice plush blankets, as well as weighted blankets, are perfect for cozy hygge type evenings.

Along with that, long hot showers are a favorite way to unwind and release all the experiences from the day.  Having a good shower head makes the difference as well as my favorite Eucalyptus scrub.

We are also beginning to explore rings that we can twirl as we engage on Zoom meetings or in situations when we need to release energy.

Our kids like weighted stuffed animals at bedtime.  There's many cute ones to choose from to switch it up.

These are just a few favorites.  We would love to hear your tactile resources that help you engage in self care or contemplative practices.
