Product Review

Abilitations Transparent Yuk-E-Ball encourage squeezing to help promote intrinsic hand strengthening. Its see-through surface allows for hand-eye activity, providing both tactile and visual feedback to aid in fine-motor control and sensory processing, and its squishy feel helps work as a calmer during high-focus activities. Yuk-E-Balls are made from heavy duty vinyl for strength durability and filled with plastic balls in a non-toxic gel. TouchMe covers (sold separately) provide additional tactile and visual feedback to help with sensory processing.

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.
