Our brain’s function that involves arranging sensory information from several environmental input is referred to as sensory modulation. It is part of one’s capability to fully understand his presence in the physical world as he develops awareness of his body. Whenever a person is stimulated, the brain helps the individual concentrate on that specific stimulus while filtering out and modulating the rest. For a few people who have behavioural and developmental problems, processing sensory input can be very difficult. Fortunately, there are now bean bag therapies that help them achieve self awareness and control.
Kids with autism, adults with borderline personality disorders, and victims of trauma and abuse are the ones who are in need of therapy. Input such as touch, pain, sound, odour, motion, sight, and taste can over or under-stimulate them. Their nervous system has difficulty in evaluating the degree, nature, or intensity of a stimulus, thus making it difficult for them to attain an optimal performance and adaptation in their daily lives. This disrupts their learning, interpersonal skills, and self-worth. Bean bags are risk-free and versatile tools that are helpful in making individuals organise their sensory faculties and gain awareness of their bodies in their physical environment. They are loaded with beans or similar materials like such as shredded foam, and are available in different sizes and shapes.
They are most-liked products for deep pressure therapy in autistic kids because of the even pressure and embracing effect they have on the body. They are usually used as chairs that supply immediate sensory feedback to the child with every subtle shift in his actions. The child becomes more mindful of his motions as foam within the bags conforms to his physique. Once he shifts around the chair, the process of discovering what is a comfortable position and what is not helps him concentrate on all sensory cues.
Another technique that uses smaller bean bags is referred to as therapeutic tapping. Strong and deep pressure input is given to different parts of the body. The patient is tapped all over from the arms and hands, down to the legs and feet. This is performed routinely at certain times during the day, and each area is tapped for one minute prior to shifting to the next. The tapping motions help the client concentrate on the different areas of the body and regain awareness. This is helpful for trauma and abuse victims who have grown fearful of touch. The gentle tapping makes them realise that touch can also be good. This will then allow them to exercise power over sensational responses.
