This kit focuses on building children’s awareness and utilisation of strategies and tools for regulation, improving capacity for focused attention, connection with others and access to the rational thinking part of the brain.
Self-regulation can be difficult for children because it is a complex process that requires several cognitive, emotional, and behavioural skills to work together. Sensory tools can be helpful in supporting children to self-regulate by providing them with a variety of sensory experiences that can help them to manage their emotions and behaviours.
There are five key areas of sensory exploration for your child to engage with:
- Movement
- Deep pressure input
- Tactile stimulation
- Visual stimulation
- Breathing strategies
As children engage with these different areas, they will have the opportunity to learn more about the strategies, tools and sensory inputs that are supportive for finding their calm.
PLEASE NOTE: The essential components of the toolbox generally don’t change over time unless we are making improvements to the overall program. The specific tools included may differ at times in terms of brand, colour, and other cosmetic differences due to sourcing factors out of our control. This will not affect the therapeutic benefits of the program as intended for the participant. We recommend you only order one program per child to ensure the appropriate use of funds. We cannot tailor toolboxes or programs to suit specific requests at this time. If you order a program for multiple children they will receive the same program and toolbox. All shop listing images are representative of the program theme and not necessarily literal representations of what’s in the toolbox.
