Indoor Therapy Swing
It’s no secret that swinging can be one of the most therapeutic activities for a child on the spectrum. This swing can be set up indoors or outdoors and comes with all of the materials to make it safe.
X and Y Sensory Chewy for Kids on the Spectrum
Chewing can be exceptionally soothing for an autistic child- and if you don’t give an outlet, kids will find one. B literally destroyed a shirt a day until we found these!!! This pack of 5 gives you enough to easily rotate or keep in different locations.
Shark Tooth Chew Necklace for Kids with Autism and ADHD
X’s and Y’s are great but sometimes don’t work for everyone. These necklaces are a more discreet way for a child to get their needs without drawing attention from their peers.
Sensory Body Sock
This unique sock gives kids compression and a safe way to relax
Liquid Motion Fidget
Many people think of “fidget spinners” when they think about a fidget – but that is just one of many ways to stim. If your child loves visual stimming, they will love this liquid motion bubbler with fun colors!
Noice Cancelling Headphones for Kids with Sensory Sensitivity
Noise cancelling headphones are a perfect investment to help your child enjoy events with crowds and noise (even fireworks!) without getting overwhelmed. I even pull these out if I’m feeling overwhelmed and need to focus.
Simple Visual Schedule for Kids with ASD
Kids with autism thrive on routine and knowing what is coming next. This visual schedule, modeled on the Picture Exchange system, helps your child prepare for transition through daily tasks.
First, Then Visual Schedule for Young Children with Autism
“First, then” language made a world of difference for our kids! Help your child understand what must happen before their preferred activity with this “First, Then” visual schedule.
Wearable Flash Cards Communication System for Nonverbal Kids
Being able to communicate your wants and needs helps so much in managing your emotions – so it makes sense that not being able to do that can drive negative behaviors in your autistic child. If your child is still learning communication, give them wearable tools to tell you their basic needs.
Snack and Drink Choice Board for Autistic Kids
We found that giving C choice opened up the world for him … and avoided a lot of tantrums. Before he had words, communication boards like these helped him tell us what he wanted and feel in control of his world.
