  • Walking along the road to school less stressful.

    Comfortable, easy for child to put on themselves and adjust, these also fold back down to be compact. They do not block a lot of sound but lower levels. They make walking along the road to school less stressful for my daughter taking the sound of passing cars to "noisy cat purrs" in her words.

    The Ark Weighted Pencil is an innovative writing tool suitable for those with sensory integration issues and/or poor fine motor control.

    The weight and textured surface of the pencil provides increased sensory input and proprioceptive feedback to the hand while writing. This can help focus, writing speed, increased hand strength and dexterity and assist with regulating the grip force used to hold a pen/pencil.

    The Weighted Pencil comes with 1 aluminum handpiece, 1 weighted tip, 1 Pencil Adapter Tip, 7 replacement pencils and 1 pencil sharpener.  When assembled, the pencil measures approximately 5 inches in length and therefore ideal for small hands to manage. 

    Perfect for homework, note-taking, and more. Highly recommended for individuals with sensory integration issues and/or poor fine motor control.

    Kit includes:

    • 1 aluminium handpiece
    • 1 weighted tip
    • 1 pencil adapter
    • 7 pencils
    • 1 pencil sharpener

    Our Story

    When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born

    Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.

    British Born Solutions

    Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution.

    We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. We pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will do our utmost to find you a solution that works.
