V-Pen™ Duo
The V-Pen™ Duo is a versatile, handheld vibrating tool that provides consistent sensory input to the hand or oral area.
Product Description
The V-Pen™ Duo is a versatile, handheld vibrating tool that provides consistent sensory input to the hand or oral area. Its unique design features an extra-length body for better grip and a silent, noiseless motor that allows for discreet use in classrooms or clinics. Whether used as a writing aid or an oral motor stimulator, the V-Pen™ Duo helps bridge the gap between sensory integration and functional task performance.
Benefits
- Sensory Integration Support: The gentle vibrations provide "proprioceptive input," helping children with ADHD or Sensory Processing Disorder stay grounded and focused.
Improves Handwriting & Fine Motor Skills: Using the V-Pen™ Duo as a writing instrument helps children who have "heavy-handed" or "light-handed" writing by increasing their awareness of the pen’s movement.
- Oral Motor Stimulation: When used with compatible oral tips, it helps "wake up" the mouth, improving tone, awareness, and sensitivity for children with speech or feeding delays.
- Reduces Anxiety & Fidgeting: The calming vibration acts as a self-regulation tool, allowing children to focus on the task at hand rather than sensory distractions.
Features
- Noiseless Operation: Engineered to be silent, making it perfect for school environments without distracting peers.
- Enhanced Battery Life: Features extra battery life to ensure it remains reliable through multiple therapy sessions or school days.
- Safety First: Constructed from high-quality, food-grade material to ensure it is non-toxic and child-safe.
- Ergonomic Design: Its 20.9 cm length is optimized for a comfortable, secure grip for small hands.
- Available Colors: Comes in vibrant Red, Blue, and Green to suit every child’s preference.
How to Use
- For Writing: Insert a standard pen or pencil into the holder. Turn on the vibration and encourage the child to write or draw. The feedback helps them maintain better control and pressure.
- For Oral Stimulation: Under the guidance of a therapist, use the vibration on the cheeks, lips, or tongue to improve muscle tone or decrease sensitivity.
- For Calming: Allow the child to hold the vibrating pen in their palm or against their arm to help them self-regulate during transitions or high-stress activities.
