Occupational Therapy Equipment for Sale

1. Weighted Blanket: $150
This is a 20lb. blanket when all 4 blankets are inside.
Was used with an Autistic boy, and we don't need it anymore.
Paid $250.00 for the blanket and $40.00 for the washable slip cover plus shipping was well over $300.00. They are now selling for $428.00 with the slip-cover before tax and shipping.

It's number 2275 in the southpaw book, and has more info on it if you want to take a look.
http://www.southpawent.ca/southpaw-weighted-blankets.html
Hope it finds a good new home and works as well as it did for my son.

2. Ankle/Arm Weights $5

3. Weighted Vest: $60
The vest is great to calm children.
Used on an Autistic boy who has since outgrown it. This kind of thing is also used with a number of other disorders like ADD, ADHD, etc. You can add how much weight you want. Comes with
(4) 1/2 lb., (4) 3/4 lb., (4) 1 lb. weights.

Bought from Southpaw Enterprises in the States and shipped with some other items. This is a great deal for someone. It's now $229.00 plus shipping now from Southpaw. Save yourself a lot of money and the cost of shipping which was quite a bit with weighted stuff. This vest is a lighter blue than what they have now. The following link shows it now on the Southpaw website.

http://www.southpawent.ca/southpaw-children39s-weighted-ve39.html

4. Sensory Brushes: $5 for set of 7 brushes
Originally $11 from Southpaw. These O.T. Brushes are commonly used in sensory defensiveness programs, like the Wilbarger therapeutic brushing technique. Includes instructions for how to use.

5. Linear Glider Swing $225
This swing was well used but still in very good condition. Used for vestibular, tactile and visual integration. Can be used back and forth or purchase a rotational device from Southpaw.

It now costs $449.00 just for the swing and $280.00 for the extra 2 height adjusters.

Standard Linear Glider, Complete with removable carpet, pull handles, and two safety snaps

Dimensions: 24" x 46"
Height: 60"
Working Load: 250 lbs.

It is the standard linear glider # 1850 in the Southpaw catalogue
http://www.southpawent.ca/linear-gliders-from-southpaw.html

plus I have 2 height adjusters I'm throwing in # 5000 in the Southpaw catalogue which are now $139.00 each
http://www.southpawent.ca/height-adjuster.html
so it would be another $280.00 on top of the $449.00 plus shipping etc if you were buying it now.

7. Music for Mozart CD
Originally $24.00. Great for children with a range of difficulties.

It is used in the special education room for kids with modulation difficulties… It does help them get regulated and ready to learn!

Great for Sensory Processing Disorder auditory sense, among others. This CD is calming, yet the music varies in volume and intensity. http://www.therapyshoppe.com/category/P2366-mozart-for-modulation-cd-music-for-learning

Speech Therapy/Augmentative Communication Equipment

1. GoTalk Device with Stand $120

Originally purchased GoTalk for $338, Stand Originally $65. GoTalk 9+ is lightweight and rugged, like all of our GoTalks, and has a 45 message capacity and five recording levels. PLUS three “core messages” which stay the same on each level so you don’t need to re-record essential messages for each level. Great sound and volume control. (Sequential recording, whole-level erasing and built-in overlay storage.)

2. Big Track Mouse/Switch $50

Originally $152. The BIGtrack has a three-inch trackball which makes it the largest trackball available. The large ball requires less fine-motor control than a standard trackball, and it is ruggedly built. It has left and a right mouse click button located behind the trackball to avoid unwanted clicks. The BIGTrack also allows for second mouse connection- both the BIGtrack and a second mouse can be connected at the same time, allowing simultaneous participation. The bright, large 3inch trackball helps to make Mouse movements easy and accurate while the oversize buttons make mouse clicks simple for those with poor motor control. Easy to install and works on any windows or macintosh computer that has a USB or PS/2 port. Just plug and play. 7inch diameter.

Miscellaneous Supplies

20 Wooden Clipboards- $1 each
