Texture Forest- Assistive device for Autism children

Texture Forest | An assistive device for Autism children 

Texture Forest is a relief pressure and learning aid designed for autism children , who have tactile defensiveness.
Texture Forest remodels the traditional Squeeze machine, modular carpet design, solves the problem of general hug machine bulkiness, position and inability to accommodate, combines "Sensory integration - adaptive learning" and deep touch pressure - emotional comfort, training Children adapt to the tactile recognition
ability of different materials and shapes.


What's  the reason makes those expressions of  autisms' emotions and communications more difficult ?
Let's imagine structure of brain as the way how the corporation works......

Condensation  →  Displacement  →  Symbolization  →  Secondary Revision
a.    Frontal Lobe(BOSS)- Handle rationality, goals, emotions, judgments, and movements of voluntary muscles
b.    Parietal Lobe(accounting)- Dealing with sensory digital operations, and messages
c.    Occipital Lobe(Propaganda)- Handling visual information
d.    Temporal Lobe (public relations)- Handle hearing, time, rhythm, and language
e.    Labor- Dealing with respiratory, nervous system

What is responsible for connecting all departments is a substance called “white matter.”
 However, autism is precisely because of this systematic implementation of functional problems, 
which leads to poor communication in certain departments and autism.

The pain point of autism 

Feeling integration problems
Autistic sees the world like a camera and takes all the pictures it sees clearly. When there are too many noises in the environment, such as talking, construction, speakers…, they will also affect their emotions. 
Therefore, when Autistic are in a noisy
surrounding or receive overloaded information, an excessive load can lead to mental breakdown.
Tactile Defensiveness
Tactile Defensiveness is a common dysfunction in many autistic children. Touching is the earliest, most basic, and most influential system for human development. The abnormal development of the tactile system leads to the confusion and discrimination of external arousal among children with autism. The act of "touching" resistance and resentment. Abnormal sensory defenses make it difficult for children to operate in emotional and emotional functions, excessive environmental information, anxiety and emotional unease, and become the biggest obstacle between becoming an autistic child and communicating with others.

Autism sensitive perception - Dysaphia
Autistic wear cotton material makes them feel very comfortable, but some people wear denim material, they will feel the skin burning sensation.


Temple Grandin - Squeeze machine
Temple Grandin developed a unique Squeeze machine in 1965 in order to calm herself in the tensions of life. The initial idea was derived from the product in the ranch in order to ease the extrusion of the violent cow. However, however, The "deep touch pressure" produced by the Squeeze machine not only calms the animals but calms them. Temple Grandin has also mentioned "deep touch pressure therapy" in other studies. It is not only widely applicable to autism spectrum disorders, but also applies to the average person.

●     Reduce the sensitivity of autism patients to touch and adapt them.
●     Use deep touch pressure therapy to stabilize patients with emotional breakdown.

The treatment is mainly for autistic children who are 5 to 14 years of age, because if they can receive professional rehabilitation training at the age of 2-6 years, it is entirely possible to achieve independent living. 
For autistic children between the ages of 0-14, Sensory integration therapy promotes tactile systems, verbal communication skills, self-regulation, and provides autistic children with a good foundation for self-reliance.

Texture Forest remodels the traditional Squeeze machine, modular carpet design, solves the problem of general hug machine bulkiness, position and inability to accommodate, combines "Sensory integration - adaptive learning" and deep touch pressure - emotional comfort, training Children adapt to the tactile recognition ability of different materials and shapes. 
​​​​​​​
Reducing tactile sensibility, assisting children in self-reliance and laying a good foundation for the future.
 

After the user lays on the texture forest,
 pulls his hand to cover himself with the body rollover, you can feel the deep squeeze.

The appearance is formed as a forest, like a wild mushroom that grows naturally on the trunk of a dead tree.
There are many species include straw mushroom, king oyster mushroom, cultivated mushroom, fly agaric and Clathrus columnatus. Various rug materials are used including denim, rayon, wool and linen.

Modularization is set to be detachable,  can be matched with materials according to customer needs.
The soft cushion and the shell are combined with the demon felt







We look forward to helping autistic learn to adapt and connect with society successfully.


Thanks for watching!​​​​​​​
