Fire District 3 Community Care Paramedic Michelle Frazier has developed and designed a children’s sensory bag called a “Frazier Sensory Bag." Michelle has special needs children herself and designed the bags to help provide a calming effect and help with sensory processing for children with special needs during emergency calls.
Each bag includes: noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, a fidget spinner, an object called “stretchy string,” a silicone food-grade necklace that can be chewed on, and a calming visual “liquid-motion bubbler.”
All items are intended to soothe and reduce anxiety levels and to help the child feel comfortable in his or her environment. This can be of key importance in the midst of so much commotion and over-stimulation. The child can keep the bag and contents with them for future comfort as well.
It is Michelle’s goal is to have a Frazier Sensory Bag in every emergency vehicle.
