The Texture Board – Wall Mounted is a versatile tactile and sensory stimulation panel designed to provide users with opportunities to explore, compare, and identify different surface textures through touch. The board features 9 individually arranged texture sections, each offering a distinct tactile experience, ranging from soft and fibrous surfaces to smooth, patterned, ridged, and multi-coloured pebble-like textures.

The panel is housed within a sturdy square frame and designed for wall-mounted installation, making it suitable for therapy rooms, sensory spaces, special education classrooms, rehabilitation centres, occupational therapy departments, and child development environments.

The variety of surfaces encourages users to touch, rub, press, trace, compare, and differentiate textures, helping make tactile activities more engaging and interactive. Different textures can be used for sensory exploration, tactile discrimination exercises, hand and finger stimulation, and structured therapist-led activities.

The 9-texture arrangement provides a convenient all-in-one tactile activity board without requiring multiple separate therapy pieces. The contrasting colours and surface patterns also make the board visually engaging while allowing therapists and educators to introduce activities involving texture recognition, matching, sequencing, description, and sensory exploration.

Suggested Therapeutic Activities

The Texture Board can be used for activities such as:

• Texture identification: Ask the user to touch a surface and describe whether it feels smooth, rough, soft, hard, ridged, or patterned.
• Texture matching: Identify two surfaces with similar or contrasting tactile characteristics.
• Blind tactile exploration: Users can explore surfaces without looking and attempt to identify or describe the texture.
• Finger tracing: Trace ridges, patterns, and textured areas using individual fingers.
• Sensory comparison: Compare two or more surfaces and identify differences in tactile feedback.
• Hand stimulation: Encourage rubbing, pressing, tapping, and exploring different areas using the hands and fingers.
• Vocabulary development: Introduce words such as smooth, rough, soft, hard, coarse, fine, ridged, and bumpy.
