"Received my Sensory Belt today and felt
wonderful right away. It now feels as if my crutches are toothpicks in my
hands. I have never, in all my 55 years, enjoyed walking as much as I do
now. I'm thrilled to have a therapeutic aid which will help me maintain
the balance I need, now, and in more elderly years. The fact is that the
Sensory Belt is working great!"
Carolyn Wright,
Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (Missouri)
"My son loves wearing his Sensory Belt and wears it
everyday! He even points it out to his caregiver when she is dressing
him. I can feel the difference when I'm holding his hand and we
are walking. He is much more stable and balanced. Thank you for
this great device!"
Wendy Mann Resnick,
Mother of Child born with agenesis of the corpus callosum
"When comparing the Miracle Belt to a weighted vest, the belt
is far superior! Weighted vests are cumbersome and the weights do not sit evenly which can jeopardize the benefits
of the input they are intended to provide. One mom told me the weighted vest that was recommended to her was too
heavy for her son. Unlike weighted vests, the
Miracle Belt comes in three different sizes to choose from and can be adjusted to fit the child's waist accordingly.
The same mom mentioned that the vest was "weighing" her son down on his shoulders and he would only take
it off and throw it on the ground. He didn't like the feeling of it and she didn't like it because he had spinal
scoliosis issues at the time and she was fearful of adding weight to his spine. This point emphasized for me the
benefit of the Miracle Belt in having the weight centered around the child's midline instead of on top of their
shoulders."
Kelly Beins,
Occupational Therapist OTR/L
"The Sensory Belt is used to stimulate the proprioceptive
system through the use deep pressure to promote attention, focus, organization and self
calming. The belt helps provide the individual with a greater sense of their body's position
in space. The belt can be used with individuals who have ADHD/ADD, PDD, Autism, Sensory
Integration Disorder and learning disabilities."
Mark Wislon,
Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant COTA
"The Sensory Belt is often worn by several of my students
for short periods of time to help them calm down and be able to
focus on their assigned tasks. Some of the students will go and
get the belt themselves when they feel the need for the weight provided
by the belt."
Jane Foppe MEd,
Autistic Spectrum Disorder Teacher
"The Sensory Belt has had an amazing
effect on my son. The belt calms him down and allows him to be better
focused so he is able to sit and color, play games, etc. without extraneous
movement. At seven years old my son asks for his belt because he knows
it's helping him. Everyone who has Sensory Integration Disorder should
have one of these."
Marijane Farr,
Mother of a child with PDD-NOS, SID
"During my daily tasks at work the Sensory Belt has
given me a skill that I had thought I lost over the years (me). I was able to stay focused,
less restless and my impulsiveness to "complete a task and
move on" as well as not having to move in my seat or get up
to move "just to move" every so often has decreased and
my ability to finish tasks at hand has increased. Interruptions
(either caused by me or others) are not as time consuming as they
used to, as I can re-focus in a more timely fashion.
Although, I do take daily medication for my ADHD,
there are times when medication itself is not effective for me (i.e. stress, deadlines, etc.) and wearing the belt for
lack of a better word "calms" me and does not allow my mind to follow the person who came over to my cubicle
to vent to stress me out but gave me the ability to maintain and follow what they were asking.
Since there is no real "cure" for ADHD, one has to
learn how manage one self. I am glad to say that the Sensory Belt
has helped me better manage my ADHD at work and at home."
Danielle Sullivan,
Office Worker with ADHD (Texas)
"I have definitely seen a difference in my clients that have been wearing
the belts. I have used the Sensory Belt on 5 different clients and seen greater stability in their pelvis
creating more balance and less shifting. I have also been able to adjust the tilt of their pelvis by the
placement of the weight either in front or behind. I have also used the belt for simply what it is - weight
- giving the client more resistance to strengthen their legs."
Missy Delaney MEd,
Program Manager at Freedom Ride, Inc.
"We have tried many things over the years to help in our
son's development. At 10 years of age he was unable to walk unassisted.
We knew the problem was his balance. After reading about the Sensory
Belt in the newspaper, we immediately ordered one online. Our son
is now walking all around the house without any help. In fact, he
constantly surprises us when he just walks into the room. We've
dreamt of this moment for ten years. So, in our mind, the Sensory
Belt truly is a miracle!"
Drs. Frank and Lisa Lanzisera,
Parents of a Child with Down syndrome
"I tried the Sensory Belt on a 12 year old client diagnosed
with ADHD who also has Sensory Integration issues. Immediately,
he experienced more stability and the quality of his mobility was
significantly improved. In fact, my client liked the belt so much,
he asked his mother if he could keep it and wear it at home."
Lena Thoresen,
Occupational Therapist OTR/L
"Using the Sensory Belt has helped calm one of my most difficult
students."
Hamish Pollock,
ESE Teacher
"Wearing the Sensory Belt was the first time my grandson
sat quietly through dinner in 10 years. He asked to take the belt
to school because it "holds him down" and he is able to
concentrate better."
Barbara Harle,
Grandmother of a Child with ADHD
"After Jack received his belt he didn't fall as much and
was noticeably more focused during our soccer games. The belts calming
effect improved his focus to where he began learning more and playing
better. Jack would wear the belt for fifteen minutes before he would
go into the game."
Michelle Kingston,
Soccer Coach of SID Boy
"Keegan had a little setback with his balance when we changed
his orthotics...all I had to do was put the Sensory Belt back on
him one time to correct the problem. ....something,huh."
Drs. Frank and Lisa Lanzisera,
Parents of a Child with Down syndrome
"I have found the Sensory Belt to be a valuable therapy tool.
The best pieces of equipment are those that have multiple uses.
I have used the Sensory Belt as a tool for improving postural stability,
strengthening, increasing body awareness, providing sensory input
to increase attention and assist with sensory modulation. A definite
asset to any therapists--bag of tools."
Lori Lovesky,
Occupational Therapist OTR/L

Original Diamond Designs, Inc. is proud to have received the above testimonials from therapeutic
professionals, health care professionals, school teachers, and families from all across the country. We thank all the parents, physicians,
special education teachers, and therapists for their advice and support in making the Sensory Belt™ one of the most effective sensory integration
products for children, teens, and adults with sensory needs. For infants and children who have difficulty modulating or adapting to sensory
sensation sensory integration products can help. Sensory products have been found to help stimulate interaction between the brain and the senses
which is crucial for healthy neurological function. Miscommunication between the brain and the senses can be regulated with the use of sensory
integration products, weighted products, such as weighted belts, weighted blankets, and/or weighted lap pads. By stimulating the proprioceptive
system sensory products help to increase neurological feedback to the brain. Seeking to encourage the nervous system to integrate sensory
information through the use of these sensory products can make a dramatic impact in the development of your child. With the use of weighted
sensory products you will see a rapid improvement in your child's ability to focus on assigned tasks. Another major area where sensory products
are helpful, especially the weighted belt, is with children who have gross motor developmental delays such as balance and mobility delays. Once
a child is able to regulate sensory information it's just a matter of time before their new found confidence and/or legs will carry them to new
heights. We believe it is important to explain the benefits weighted belts have over traditional sensory integration therapies such as the
weighted vest. Ever since we began development of the Miracle Belt therapists have been telling us about their problems with weighted vests. One
occupational therapist told us how one of her ADHD clients began throwing the weight out of the vest because he didn't like the way the weighted
vest felt. Because of these types of experiences with weighted vests our consulting therapists recommend we design the weighted belt with
stationary weight. Since weighted belts are centered around the waist less weight is needed to provide effective proprioceptive feedback for
sensory regulation. Weighted belts have been proven to provide children with a solid base of support creating a stronger core which is the
foundation of all movement where a weighted vest does not. Many therapists have noticed weighted vests effect posture, especially with children
who are low tone. Not only does less weight work more effectively around the waist but weighted belts also elliminate excess body heat and
discomfort caused by weighted vests. Weighted belts are clearly the best and most effective weighted vest alternative, weighted therapy, for
infants and children with sensory needs. In our continuing efforts to meet the sensory needs of children, teens, and adults we have created
