Hand to Eye Coordination
From young children with sensory processing disorders to older adults with physical difficulties or cognitive impairments, it is essential to develop and maintain hand-eye coordination through accessible activities and equipment. While commonly associated with sports, a deficiency in hand-eye coordination can impact your ability to perform everyday fine motor activities, such as eating, drinking, dressing, writing, and using smart devices. At Experia USA, we have created numerous sensory products to facilitate hand-eye coordination development for adults and children with autism and other sensory challenges.
Sensory Equipment for Hand-Eye Coordination
As hand-eye coordination
combines motor skills with the vestibular system and proprioception,
responsible for balance and bodily awareness, respectively, it is
necessary to engage these systems simultaneously to improve hand-eye
coordination. For this reason, tactile sensory
equipment plays an essential role in the development of this skill. The exposed
lights that cover our fiber optic carpet invite
users to explore the shimmering lights at their feet, while the colored pegs
that comprise our interactive light panel challenge
their hand-eye coordination by inviting them to create glowing pieces of
artwork.
Our flagship range of IRiS Wireless controls
similarly allows users to experiment with different types of hand-eye
coordination activities, while presenting opportunities for children in
early-stage development to improve their understanding of cause and effect. By connecting compatible devices, such as
the IRiS LED color panel, bubble tube, or bubble wall, with any of our IRiS Talker switches,
your users can control their sensory surroundings while testing their hand-eye
coordination through joystick manipulation, keyboards or precision button
presses.
Creating a multisensory space for children or adults with varied sensory needs can be daunting for the uninitiated, which is why Experia USA offers free room design services to all of its customers. Whether you need assistance with the layout or budget of your sensory space, or you need more information about how our products can be used to facilitate hand-eye coordination activities for autism and other additional needs, our expert sensory advisors are on hand to help you.
