Frequently Asked Questions

What is a finger spacer used for?

A finger spacer is a writing tool that helps children learn to leave consistent spaces between words. It acts as a physical reminder placed between words as they write.

Is this the same as a pencil grip?

No, a finger spacer is not a pencil grip. It is used after writing a word to measure space before starting the next one. Pencil grips are designed to help with finger positioning, which this product does not do.

Who should use a finger spacer?

Finger spacers are great for early primary school students, children with dysgraphia or motor planning difficulties, and anyone who needs support with word spacing when writing.

How do I use a finger spacer?

Simply place the spacer on the page between each word during writing. The child uses it as a guide to leave the correct amount of space before starting the next word.

Can it be used in schools?

Yes! Teachers and occupational therapists often use finger spacers in classrooms and sessions to support handwriting development in a calm, non-disruptive way.

How do I clean the spacer?

Just rinse with warm soapy water or wipe with a damp cloth. The soft silicone material is durable and easy to keep clean.

Product Selection and Safety Measures

  • Age Appropriateness

We ensure that our sensory toys and tools are suitable for various age groups, considering the developmental stages and safety requirements of each group.

  • Material Safety

Our products are made from non-toxic, durable materials to withstand frequent use and to ensure they are safe for children.

Guidance for Parents and Educators

We recommend that parents and educators assess each child's unique sensory needs and consult with professionals, such as occupational therapists, to select the most appropriate products. This personalised approach ensures that the sensory tools chosen will effectively support the child's development and safety.

If you have specific concerns or need further assistance, our customer service team is available to help you make informed choices tailored to your child's needs.

Choosing the right product for your child’s unique sensory requirements involves understanding their specific needs and preferences. Here’s how you can make an informed decision:

1. Consult with Professionals

  • Speak with your child’s occupational therapist, teacher, or healthcare provider for recommendations tailored to their sensory profile.
  • Professionals can suggest tools that align with your child’s developmental goals.


2. Understand Your Child’s Sensory Preferences

  • Identify whether your child is a sensory seeker (craves input) or avoider (prefers less stimulation).
  • For example, weighted blankets may help sensory avoiders who need calming input, while body socks might suit sensory seekers who enjoy movement and proprioceptive feedback.


3. Match Products to Needs

  • Look for products designed to address specific challenges, such as improving focus, calming anxiety, or encouraging movement.
  • Check product descriptions and reviews to understand how others have used them.

4. Start Small and Experiment

  • Begin with one or two versatile tools, like a weighted lap pad or fidget toy, to observe how your child responds.
  • Gradually introduce more products based on their feedback and engagement.

5. Consider Age Appropriateness

  • Ensure the product is suitable for your child’s age and developmental stage to maximise safety and effectiveness.
  • Check product labels or descriptions for age recommendations.

6. Safety First

  • Choose non-toxic, durable products that meet safety standards, especially for younger children or those prone to mouthing items.
  • Sensory Assist provides detailed product descriptions and specifications to help you make safe choices.

7. Ask for Help

  • Reach out to Sensory Assist’s customer support for personalised advice or browse their blog for tips and insights on sensory tools.
  • Engage with the community through reviews or forums to hear experiences from other parents.

By following these steps, you can confidently choose products that will best support your child’s unique sensory journey.
