Sensory Gift Guide for Autistic Children and All Kids with Sensory Needs
Gifts for the sensory child in your life. Give them a gift they will love and be able to use all year. Sensory regulation is particularly challenging during the holiday season, as get togethers can quickly become overwhelming and lead to meltdowns. Give a gift that can help!
From sensory swings to sensory clothing with integrated sensory tools, every child will be ready to take on the year ahead (and yours will be their favorite gift!)
These are gift ideas that work all year round for birthdays, a surprise, or a holiday sensory gift.
Tip: ask their parents about their sensory preferences, special interests, and favorite colors to help you choose!
