Sensory Tools & Therapy Resources on Block Island, RI
A guide to therapy resources and sensory support for families and practitioners on Block Island, Rhode Island.
Block Island is a ferry-dependent community of roughly 1,000 year-round residents located 13 miles off the Rhode Island coast. Block Island Medical Center provides primary care but no hospital or rehabilitation services — specialist care requires ferry or air transport to the mainland. The island's extreme geographic isolation makes home-based therapy tools and parent-mediated strategies not just helpful but essential. This guide covers the therapy and sensory support resources accessible to Block Island families.

Beast Putty in Block Island
Block Island represents the extreme case for home-based therapy tools — every specialist appointment requires a ferry ride, and winter weather can make mainland access unpredictable for weeks at a time. Beast Putty gives Block Island families and the mainland practitioners who serve them a durable, engaging sensory and hand therapy tool that functions as the primary mode of therapy between infrequent clinic visits. For the island's aging population managing hand conditions, working lobstermen recovering from grip injuries, and children with sensory needs, Beast Putty provides consistent therapeutic support on an island where consistency is the hardest thing to achieve.
