Dual Control Training Scissors

Our Dual Control Teaching Scissors have been developed under consultation with Occupational Therapists to assist a child who:

  • Has poor visuomotor co-ordination
  • Lacks the strength to complete the cutting action
  • Has a tremor and cannot place the scissors at a given starting point
  • Has poor background/foreground differentiation
  • Also ideal for use in Early Years settings to teach the opening/closing action of scissor skills.

The child uses the loops furthest from the blade, whilst the adult places their fingers over the child’s hand and through the loops nearest the blade to assist with placement, guidance and strength.

Good for:

  • Introducing children to scissors
  • Supporting schildren unable to hold scissors independently
  • Children who have difficulty undrestanding instructions
  • Children with reduced grip and motor control

Blue handles - Right Hand

Green handles - Left hand

  • 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.

    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.
