  • I have created many reborns for support and therapy purposes, and have directly witnessed the significant benefits these dolls can offer individuals. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these meticulously crafted dolls possess unique qualities that make them effective aids for individuals facing various challenges, from sensory processing disorders to communication difficulties. With their cuddly weighted bodies, realistic features, and vast versatility in therapeutic benefits, reborn dolls offer a multifaceted approach to therapy, providing sensory integration, emotional support, and opportunities for skill development.

  • ~ Here are just some of the therapeutic benefits of reborn dolls and how they contribute to improved well-being and enhanced abilities for individuals across different contexts of therapy and disability support ~

  • Sensory Integration:

    Individuals with sensory processing disorders often struggle to manage and interpret sensory information from their environment. Reborn dolls, with their weighted bodies and lifelike appearance, can serve as effective tools for sensory integration therapy. The tactile sensation of holding and interacting with the dolls can help individuals to regulate their sensory responses, leading to improved sensory processing and emotional regulation.

  • Emotional Support:

    Reborn dolls can provide meaningful emotional support, especially for individuals with disabilities or mental health concerns, particularly those encountering difficulties in social interactions.The companionship provided by these dolls can alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation, offering a sense of comfort and security. Through nurturing interactions with the dolls, individuals can experience emotional bonding and a sense of connection, promoting overall well-being.

  • Speech and Occupational Therapy:

    Reborn dolls are versatile tools that can be incorporated into speech and occupational therapy sessions. In speech therapy, the dolls can be used to facilitate verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Engaging in conversations with the dolls or practicing gestures and expressions can help individuals with communication disorders to improve their expressive and receptive language abilities.

  • Fine Motor Skills and Coordination:

    In occupational therapy, reborn dolls can aid in the development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and other motor functions. Activities such as dressing the dolls, placing them into prams or strollers, buckling them into carseats or even gently combing their hair (if the reborn has rooted hair) require precise movements and coordination. By engaging in these activities, individuals can strengthen their motor skills and enhance their overall dexterity. Additionally, the weighted bodies can assist in enhancing muscle tone as individuals carry these reborn dolls in their arms, thereby helping to improve fine motor skills through increased muscle strength.

  • Recognition by Disability Support Systems:

    The recognition of reborn dolls as therapy tools by organisations like the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) underscores their effectiveness in promoting therapeutic outcomes for individuals with disabilities. This acknowledgment validates their use within therapeutic interventions and may facilitate access to funding or support for those seeking to incorporate reborn dolls into their therapy programs.

The Process:

If you're interested in having a reborn doll funded through your NDIS plan, feel free to contact me. I can offer you a quote that you can present to your plan coordinator. Additionally, obtaining a letter of recommendation from a therapist or support coordinator can strengthen your request and increase the likelihood of approval for the quote within your plan. I will keep you updated throughout the entire process as well. 

  • Enquire ➜

    I can provide a quote or invoice for you to send to your funds manager. I can also send it direct to them. You will need to provide your details, their details and your NDIS number.

  • Invoice ➜

    This process may take a little while and sometimes the invoice needs to be adjusted to suit your NDIS budget. I'm happy to make whatever changed required.

    This is the exciting part! Once the invoice has been processed we book your reborn in to be painted. Once complete, I arrange delivery by post or in person if you're local.
