When to use BLAST:
Spot: Use as soon as you're in an environment with a lot of sensory stimuli to help sensory regulation.
Preventative: If you can anticipate being in a scenario with a lot of sensory stimuli, begin use 15-30 minutes prior to going into a new environment. (You may use all day at work or school, however this will require multiple sets of TouchPoints.)
How to use BLAST:
Where: Wear on wrists, in hands, socks, or pant pockets. Use zippered sweatbands on wrists or ankles to muffle some of the noise associated with the vibrations, and to make the introduction to TouchPoints more seamless.
Mode: When introducing TouchPoints, ease into the feeling of BLAST by starting the slow/blue setting in various scenarios. Work your way up to the medium/yellow and fast/purple settings as the user becomes more comfortable. Find user’s favorite setting and continue to use this setting throughout the day.
Timing: Leave on until you're no longer in a setting with a lot of sensory stimuli.
