Product Review

The Abilitations Grabits Tactile Pack provides tactile, visual, and auditory feedback to aid in fine-motor control and sensory processing. They have the throwing and landing characteristics of beanbags but are designed to be tossed like horseshoes. The Inner bells or balls encourage squeezing to help promote intrinsic hand strengthening and hand-eye coordination, and the handle can be slung over a user's hands or feet for lifting and stretching. This Grabits Tactile Pack includes 3 transparent Grabits filled with 10mm PVC balls in gel (1.2 lb/.5kg), primary colored pellets (1.5 lb/1kg), or 8 bells (1 .25 lb/.6kg each). Individual solid colors sold separately.

Special needs products are designed to improve sensory processing, positioning and mobility, fine and gross motor skills, and language and communication skills for students with learning challenges.
