The Wriggleworm is a play structure designed to foster increased sensory regulation in special needs children to improve self-regulation.

Driven by a mission to help Autistic and other disabled people who have sensory regulation needs, this innovative play structure offers a powerful combination of full-body mild -to- moderate sensory input and physical exertion, all designed to aid in sensory and self-regulation.

At the heart of the Wriggleworm is a “captured pack” of foam pool noodles. These noodles are attached securely to the structure’s sides using bungee cords, which are covered by the foam. This design creates a consistent, mild- to- moderate full body pressure while remaining flexible, unintimidating, and incredibly fun!
Unlike traditional “squeezing devices,” the Wriggleworm demands full-body physical exertion. The motion required to navigate the structure is akin to swimming or crawling through deep mud or sand. It is not a passive roller; it is an active play structure that encourages physical creativity.
The Wriggleworm is fundamentally designed to be safe and versatile. Because the main components are soft foam noodles with bungee cord cores, the structure itself is incredibly forgiving.

The construction of the Wriggleworm prioritizes strength, durability, and a non-toxic environment.

The frame is built from multiple layers of birch hardwood plywood, ensuring exceptional strength.

External triangulation at the corners was specifically chosen to create maximum structural integrity and longevity without relying on metal brackets.

For absolute safety, all edges and corners of concern are covered by edge and corner protecting foam designed for baby-proofing furniture.
