8. Compatible ROMPA® Products
ROMPA have a large range of sensory integration products suitable for therapeutic
sensory circuits and therapeutic interventions, see www.rompa.com for more
information.
There are a variety of items that could enhance the sensory experience depending on the
clients’ needs. For example, why not combine with other types of sensory input –e.g.
create games to “collect” balls from around a room which will encourage the individual to
utilise a variety of different skills (e.g. object recognition, hand/eye co-
ordination/problem solving etc. Enhance visual input by using light up balls, textured
ones, ones that have audible input or perhaps have olfactory value see www.rompa.com.
