“My 7-year-old twins have sensory integration issues & this meets both of their needs. They enjoy experimenting with what feels good & they seek the sock out on their own when they need some sensory input.”
STRETCH. PLAY. DEVELOP. UNWIND.
Do you wish your child had an easier time relaxing? The Harkla Body Sock is designed with autism and sensory issues in mind. Your child will love to play, stretch, or relax in our sensory sock! It also gives the tactile benefit for seekers because it is soft and stretchy to the touch. The body sock provides calming and organizing input all over the body at the same time.

HELP YOUR CHILD DEVELOP SPATIAL AWARENESS
Not only do sensory socks help to soothe and calm, but a body sock can also encourage your child to explore their movements by pressing and stretching the material. The Harkla Body Sock gives immediate feedback to the tactile and proprioceptive systems when it is worn, both in one static position or used for dynamic movement based tasks. Start developing right away with the activity guide created by occupational therapists provided in each package.

TACTILE & PROPRIOCEPTIVE INPUT
The science behind the Harkla Body Sock is called Tactile and Proprioceptive Input & Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). DTP is simply distributed weight across the body. If you'd like to read more about the natural benefits of DTP, we wrote a guide to it here.
By providing DTP to the whole body and adding resistance to every movement, children get extra proprioceptive input with the body sock. It promotes body awareness - knowing where your body is in space. Body socks can give a feeling of calm, relaxation and incresase focus & attention. If you'd like to dive into the studies about body socks and the science behind them, we wrote an article on it here.

Really well made and so much fun. One of our children has sensory needs but this was bought for our toddler who doesn't as she loves her big sisters body sock so much! The poppers work much better than velcro versions we've had in the past which tend to catch and damage the fabric.
Excellent quality item. The lycra is thick and the seams and fastenings are strong. We're using this for dance and movement so it's really been put to the test. I would highly recommend!
My son loves this body sock to use when he’s feeling a bit frustrated. It helps to calm him.
My 5 year old is very fidgety and she loves this! It meets all her sensory needs.
My son has ASD and he has a lot of anxiety, sometimes life is full of stress for him this just helps him feel comfortable and clams him right down, we have gotten one before in the past my son grew out of it so fast I paid way to much for, when I found this on Amazon I was happy to see they had lager sizes and the price was so reasonable, I was pleased with the material it’s soft and stretchy and it buttons right up and allows there head to pick out the top or in my son case he loves to just go right inside and hide like a Turtle and his shell lol,It’s really good for people on the On the spectrum or suffering with high anxiety definitely recommending %100
