Sensory Integration:

- Proprioceptive Input: The enclosed tent provides a sense of deep pressure input, which can have a calming and organizing effect on the nervous system.
- Tactile Input: The soft fabric of the tent provides tactile stimulation, which can be beneficial for children with sensory sensitivities.
