Weighted balls can help give sensory input if your child is
overstimulated. Try directing your child to lift the ball above their
head 10 times or throwing it in a safe space.

Waiting is hard! Try offering your child a fun
small toy to hold in the car or while waiting at
the doctor.
Headphones can help in loud environments such as
stores and events! If your child does not want to
wear them at first, try starting with short intervals of
time. Loop ear plugs are a small, descrete option.
If your child chews on items or bites when upset,
offering a chew necklace can give them
something to use instead! There are many shapes
and sizes available.
Yoga blocks can give your child something
safe to hit when they are overstimulated or
upset.
