Please enjoy our catalogue, its design is aimed at guiding you to the right toy. Everyone is different, but many goals and difficulties are shared, we use those to group our range. We hope that it will inspire you to get in touch, we need help to improve and we love to hear from you.

AUDITORY
Auditory processing disorder (APD) or Auditory Hypersensitivity can affect people of all ages, but it often starts in childhood.
It can affect your ability to understand speech, distinguish sounds, and concentrate around background noise.
We provide a wide range of fun auditory toys to help explore and develop this important sense.
Look out for our Resonance selection which magnifies the vibration inherent in sound, enabling us to feel as well as hear sounds.

Auditory | Kibo
Kibo Truly overcoming obstacles through play TFH are proud to present Kibo. So many electronic toys create annoying bleeps, while musical instruments require a trained operator. Kibo is a musical instrument designed to be played with like a toy. A true fusion of technology, musicology and fun. Kibo is light, tough and cutting edge technology from Italy. Engagingly simple, but fiendishly complex under the hood, Kibo presents 3 forms of music composition to the user through its 8 chunky wooden blocks. These lovely tactile shapes stack magnetically and snap into place on the smooth board pleasingly, and that’s when the magic begins. Tap the blocks to play 40 different instruments (just turn the knob to change) in mode one - the harder you tap, the louder they play (it’s a musical instrument). Build complex compositions by adding and removing the blocks in mode two - the lower 4 blocks build a bassline, the upper 4 build the harmony. Mode 3 is a combo mode, the top row builds up a melody, while the bottom row allows you to tap out an accompanying beat. Battery powered (~40 hours, recharges like a phone). Rechargeable non-replaceble Battery . • 30 x 23 x 2cm 6KIBO
Kibo is of course Bluetooth-driven via app on an iPad (not included). The App (kodaly) is free to
download & requires no musical training. Kibo is a true MIDI controller and can therefore be integrated into other (more complex) apps like Garage Band, Beat maker and Ableton. Some of these apps are free and quite easy to get into. We hope that while Kibo is engaging and educating to play, it will also be a gateway to the truly exciting world of music technology. Play up to 7 Kibos in a group from a single iPad (update in 2021 to allow remote online groups). This multiplayer feature is so
simple to set up and use, it’s “gold dust”. Kibo requires an ipad or iPhone, headphones or a powered speaker for a performance.

Typically we think of music as being ‘heard’
by the ear, our most sensitive organ to the vibrations in the air. When the notes are very deep we also feel them with our body. Such vibration is the basis of Vibroacoustic therapy. The TFH Resonance Range magnifies musical vibrations so
they are felt more easily. All Resonance items require an Amp, our Resonator Amp is perfect.

TACTILE
Welcome to the TACTILE chapter!
Our skin is our largest sensory organ. Tickling labels and unfamiliar fabrics can be annoying, and particularly for those who are tactile sensitive. We believe that exposure to new textures can be fun and that through controlled tactile play we can widen our senses and reduce unpleasant experiences.
Messy play is the ultimate tactile challenge and well worth the effort.

Water: The most abundant substance on Earth and the source of all life.
Water is weird: its solid form floats on its liquid form (also essential for life on earth), but perhaps oddest of all... water is both safe and fun. So children should study it and they love to play with it.

PROPRIOCEPTION
Develop your understanding of PROPRIOCEPTION in this chapter.
Proprioception makes up a large part of sensory therapy. But, what is it and how does it work? Proprioception is, essentially, an awareness of one’s own body; its movement, balance and how all parts relate to one another. Products in this section have been chosen for their ability to help with the concept of body awareness. Any product that encourages reaching, or helps with positioning or balance will also have this benefit.
Take a more hands-on approach to proprioception. This often misunderstood sense is being developed in both the participants, the “amount”

Proprioception | Weighted
From being wrapped in swaddling blanket, to being
tucked in at bedtime – “Sleep tight!” – to pulling a top tight around shoulders against a dark evening, there is something inherently comforting and calming about being tightly wrapped. Think of it like white noise or a blank canvas for your proprioceptive sense. Weighted products employ ‘Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation’, steady proprioceptive stimulation that balances other sensory “noise”, reducing distraction and the craving to self-stimulate.

The VESTIBULAR sense is a key element in sensory integration therapy.
VESTIBULAR
Children and adults who are sensory challenged will often use toys that spin or bounce to stimulate their vestibular system - or their inner ear. The inner ear helps with balance and lets the body know when, and how fast, it is moving.
Some of our favourite vestibular activities involve playground accessories such as swings, trampolines, bouncers, and rockers. These recreational
activities are self-paced and fun, making them ideal for both stimulating the under-responsive child and calming for the over-responsive or sensory seeking child.
We are well known for our swing frames and accessories. These are not the

Ever since Jean Ayers identified* the importance of Sensory
Integration (SI), and suggested a link with our vestibular sense, therapists have been including a regimen of swinging and spinning in their programs. It is possible* that a stimulated Vestibular helps the brain organise and process other sensory input. At TFH we believe in fun, and at this price you can experiment for yourself. *Sensory Integration and the Child, 1979.* “An important area for future research is to evaluate Sensory Integration in studies with strong experimental designs. Professionals should present Sensory Integration as untested and encourage families who are considering this intervention to evaluate it carefully” - The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT).
