Sensory Tools to Create Calm
For children with sensory sensitivities, noisy, bright or chaotic environments can be overwhelming. Sensory tools like weighted blankets, chew necklaces, vibration cushions or fidget spinners help kids meet sensory needs to create calm.
Use these tools proactively (before a meltdown), reactively (when your child is overstimulated), or as a regular part of situational transitions.
Involve your child in choosing sensory tools, and create kit for school, home or car rides.
Sensory regulation isn’t about avoiding challenges, but equipping kids to handle them with confidence.
