Many children with SEN struggle with focus, emotional regulation, and anxiety during the day.

It aims to support wellbeing, provide comfort, and reduce distraction. SNUGG was developed.

How it works

SNUGG has a small loop that allows users to attach personal items, like fidgets or chews.

The cover combines two carefully chosen fabrics:

  • dimpled fleece for a warm tactile feedback
  • smooth Lycra for a cool and sleek soothe and Poly Plastic beans

It has a reversible cover that allows the user to decide what tactile feeling they may desire.

A secure Velcro fastening allows the cover to be removed, washed, changed and replaced.
