Why Sensory Tools Work

Sensory tools aren’t just toys—they’re regulation tools.

Research shows that access to sensory supports like tactile items, calming visuals, deep pressure aids, and grounding stimuli can:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety in neurodivergent individuals
  • Improve focus and reduce sensory overwhelm
  • Lower the frequency and intensity of behavioural escalation
  • Support emotional regulation and transitions throughout the day

Whether it’s a chew necklace, a calming card, a weighted toy, or a full crisis kit—each item here is chosen with a purpose: to create one moment of safety, one sense at a time.
