Balta Brush Special Needs Therapressure Brush

Edit: A year later and brush is still in the same condition it was when i bought it, quality item!Ok so I bought this for my autistic daughter because she has all kinds of sensory issues. She seems to get a sensory overload and will have a meltdown. Now we never had her diagnosed with sensory processing or ever got any help trying to regulate her, so I researched and found out that people basically used these to brush their child so many times a day in a certain way to help them de escalate. I watched YouTube videos on how they did it and I got this brush. So what I've found out that it can actually be very helpful and you can do it however u want. My daughter loves it, She will be having a melt down and we will just rub it on her skin and she just calms right down!!!! She has brought it to me now to have me rub her arms with it. It's definitely helped us alot and it's definitely worth having around. The price is a little high for $8 but it is a quality brush and will last a long time.

My little one has a fascination with scratching at his scalp. OT used this exact same brush to "paint" his skin. The texture and feel of this brush on his skin and especially his scalp is extremely calming and soothing.

These are great for my nails and skin

A very good. quality brush, which is important for those serious about brushing as frequently as required by the protocol. As much as I like the brush, I think that it is overpriced for a piece of plastic. 5 stars for the product, 3 stars for the price. 4 star average. In case you are wondering, this brush sure beats the free ones they tend to hand out at OT. My son is also much less resistant to being brushed with this brush vs the all free ones we have been given. I can also feel the difference, more smooth and less scratchy feeling and does not leave marks on the skin (the cheap ones tend to have sharp edges that nick the skin when applying appropriate pressure on a wiggly child.)

My son caries his around, and uses it all the time. He is able to do it for his self or ask someone to do it for him.It's one of the things that go with him now always.

Nice quality and value for money.

All the good reviews were right so far. I've only used it for a week on my son and he loves the brushing therapy. Don't be afraid of trying it. I like that this brush has a handle and fits nicely in my hand. I keep it in the ziplock bag it came in to keep it clean because I'm sure it would collect dust and hair with the soft, fine teeth. It's just like the surgeon's hand cleaning brush but has the handle to hold nicely. I recommend this one.

Buy this brush to give sensory therapies to my son. The therapists use it during the sessions of occupational therapy that he receives and I choose to buy one for myself and give him his therapies at home daily. It is easy to grasp and gentle sedras. Highly recommended for children with special needs.
