294-9-7-18 Fidget Backpack
Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
Fun and Function is a company offering hundreds of tools to help individuals focus, regulate their senses, and more. One of their more recent additions is the Fidget Backpack!
The Fidget Backpack is a dream backpack for children who love to fidget. The bag works double duty, “engaging fidgety fingers with sensory activities while keeping schoolwork organized.” Exterior coils, webbing, toggles, and textured patches help children satisfy sensory needs while waiting for the bus or riding to and from school.
Features of the Fidget Backpack include:
- Supports tactile exploration
- Helps calm and channel anxiety
- For ages 3-8
- And much, much more
