Haptic Therapy

Recent studies are showing that haptic therapy, therapy involving engaging your fingers in a repetitive action, can be a great tool for those with Autism, ADHD, and PTSD.  The repetitive motion of the fingers can calm a mind and can keep a person focused.  There are many ongoing studies about the effectiveness of using tactile fidgets for these, and other,  issues and much is still to be discovered about why there is a greater effectiveness seen when using a haptic.

At BilletSPIN EDC, we have been following the scientific evidence of this closely and have produced several products that can be utilized as haptic therapy and the need to fidget.

  • Our Gambit bodies paired with Gambit coins offer several engaging ways to occupy your fingers.

    • The coin spins easily inside the body, facilitated by the ball bearing in the bottom of the body.

    • The coin clicks into and out of the body easily, made possible by the stainless steel spring recessed within the body.

    • The smooth finish of the bodies allows for a nice contact surface to rub your fingers over.

    • The several different body types allow for customization to a particular feel preference.

    • The several different kinds of coins allow for a choice of different textures to entertain the sensitive nerve endings in the fingertips.

    • The many different materials and the treatments used on them give a nice unique look and some will have a different feel than normal smooth materials, giving another tactile element to the Gambits.

    • Studies show that using spin tops to focus the mind can greatly ease the stress of PTSD.

    • Many different designs, materials, and colors give our spin tops a unique look and something new to focus the mind on at different levels of the top.

    • We make several spin tops that are meant to be long spinning, giving the ability to take a long focus time.
