Guest guest Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi! Some $1 tree stores sell children's gloves and some of them have the lightweight white gloves (in the manicure section) like women wear overnight with creams. Also the following might work or be good sources: abcdistributing = Has 8 pr of mix 'n match gripper gloves for $6.95-cute patterns and designs on them http://www.abcdistributing.com/ just type " gripper gloves " in the search box - the boys gloves are sports themed Wal mart sells the following on their web site - gold's gym weight lifting gloves that have the velcro bands to tighten around the wrist. They run about $9 and come in size small. They also (sometimes have on their web site) Gold's Gym Wrist Wrap Glove with the long velcro straps the Typhoon Motorcycle Glove - straps on wrist cuff they are about $13 Wells Lamont - MechPro Work Gloves - about $10 velcro strap on wrist cuff. An alternative might be to get the following: you could get 2 of the futuro sport adjustable wrist supports from Walgreen's web site - $14 for 2 (on the web site) Regards, Glenda > > Hello everyone! Does anyone know where I could find mittens or something for the hands to prevent clapping. Of course I need mittens that my son cant take off. > His stimming is so bad that it interferes with everything. I put a sock on his left hand a taped it ( I know it sounds aweful) but I wanted to see. To my surprise, the clapping stopped, hes quieter and he is biting the sock instead of his shirts. I am trying to figure out why this has changed his behavior. He has been trying to take it off but cant. I dont want him in public with a sock on his hand so I am looking for something else. Has anyone had this experience? I need some guidance. We will also be starting ABA soon. Thanks everyone. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Its a tough one, my daughter does hand starring, I wanted to put something on her hands. I was told best thing to do is give a sensory hand toy or distractions, to change behavior.Sent from my Samsung Epicâ„¢ 4G yesenia alfonso wrote: Hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would guess that the reason the sock work is due to "behavioral/sensory extinction" a strategy that changes the sensory input a child receives from the stim in order to change it. By putting the sock on his hand he couldn't receive the sensory input that he enjoyed from the stim, so he did it less. I have been successful using that strategy using light weights on the wrist, also... all you need to do is alter the sensory feedback. In addition I like to provide, through exercise, input into the hands to decrease the need to stim in the future. Exercises might be weight bearing on the hands with feet up on a chair or peanut ball while playing a game....pushing flat hands into something like therapy putty... or any form of deep sensory input into the palms of the hand. Your topic caught my interest...I hope I am not of topic, as I haven't been following the full discussion.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yesenia, I don't know of a hand cream that is edible. This will sound odd, and I hope I don't offend anyone, there is a product called Doc edible body butter and other edible body butters available (some on Amazon) It is something that is sometimes given as a gift at bridal showers and bachelor parties. I don't know that anyone has ever used it for other purposes. Would buying the aloe juice that Publix sell in the produce department and putting it on your son's hands work? People buy it to drink for health reasons. Glenda > > Hello everyone, I have a silly question. Can someone recommend edible hand cream? We are trying to put cream on s hands so the clapping could be decreased but I dont want him to eat cream that isnt edible. Thanks. > > Yesenia > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
