Sensory Kits

Our range of educational sensory aids provides support for students with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder in their learning environment.

Students with autism or other neurodiverse conditions can need extra support and resources to access the curriculum in a kindergarten or classroom setting. Sister Sensory stocks a range of tools to help teachers and parents cope with behavioural problems in the classroom or at home.

Here are some ideas and strategies to help manage classroom behaviour:

Flexible furniture: items like our wiggle cushion allow users to move, wriggle, bounce or lean while listening to instructions or completing work. Flexible furniture can help students stay on task and focus on their work. Therapists agree that when students on the spectrum move while learning, they increase oxygen flow to the brain, which helps maintain attention for longer, builds core body strength, and improves balance.

Sensory items: sensory products help with classroom concentration. We stock a range of products to allow teachers to keep their students focused. Classrooms can be loud and stressful, so having a selection of products available to help students remain calm and reduce anxiety is beneficial.

Educational sensory products help students remain focused

Research indicates that the benefits are enormous when a child with autism or ADHD can manage their sensory issues using appropriate sensory educational tools. They can concentrate for more extended periods, improve their behaviour and perform better academically.

Educational products for autism

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) possess various skills, strengths, interests, and needs. Many educational programs for children on the autism spectrum focus on building independence through goal setting in speech and communication, problem-solving, functional living skills, and academic content areas, such as mathematics and reading.

Communication and social skills

Providing materials to help children understand their emotions and develop a sense of empathy for others will also build communication and social skills. Our range of flashcards helps students begin to recognise and articulate their emotions and feelings and share them with others.

Life skills

Educational products that help students gain a sense of control, help them develop confidence in their abilities, and build self-esteem are essential in the classroom. Our range includes items that help children learn to predict outcomes, practice following directions one step at a time and learn how to make good choices in everyday situations.

Reading and writing skills

Our educational products include tools that help students see and manipulate letters and words —and associate them with pictures. These tools allow students to build letter and word recognition. Developing fine motor skills is also essential to prepare children for writing, which is why providing tactile drawing tools is critical for children on the autism spectrum. We also stock language materials that present information in highly visual ways, allowing learning through pictures.

Cognitive and mathematics skills

Many children on the autism spectrum develop cognitive skills by using materials they can manipulate. Tactile manipulation can also build on their natural problem-solving abilities and strengthen their understanding of how numbers and math concepts. Our learning tools include flashcards, counting tools, money activities, and many more.
