Ultraviolet (UV) light is sometimes known as black light. UV light is just beyond the blue end of the colour spectrum so appears 'invisible' to the eye. A UV torch or light produces ultraviolet light and when combined with UV responsive material or toys produces dramatic bright vivid colours which appear to glow.
UV products are most effective in a dark room or dark den and are ideal for lone play or interacting with others.
UV play can have the following benefits:
- Encourages concentration and focus
- Helps visual tracking and visual perception
- Calms and distracts from negative behaviour
- Develops motor skills and hand eye co-ordination
- Encourages social skills and productive participation

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.
