sensory overload and changes in his routine. Tom tells readers about all the
ways he can be helped and supported by those around him. This illustrated
book is ideally suited for readers aged 7 and upwards, and will be an
excellent way to increase understanding about autism, in the classroom or
at home. It also includes clear, useful information for parents and professionals.

Our very own chewy for kids who love to chew for sensory relief. We wanted
to create a chewy product for kids that was also fun to fidget with and came
up with the chewbuddy in the shape of a stick man! The round head gives a
bi-lateral biting surface with ridges for additional interest, the legs have raised
dimples for sensory feedback. In addition to having great bite resistance, the
chewbuddy can be stretched and bent, making a great tactile fidget toy. Not
recommended for aggressive chewers. Comes with safety lanyard.
Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs are reusable earplugs designed for sound quality
that are used by individuals with autism and other sensory disorders who are
sensitive to sound. Unlike earmuffs and foam earplugs that block and muffle
sounds, Vibes reduce the volume of loud environments to a safer and more
comfortable level (22 decibel reduction), while still allowing you to hear
everything around you clearly. Vibes’ clear design makes them virtually
invisible, so you can be discreet about wearing hearing protection in public.
Weighing only 190 grams, these ear defenders are light but sturdy. They
can be folded up to fit in the palm of your hand, making them easy to carry
with you, or store away. By helping to reduce ambient and background noise,
ear defenders can help combat sensory overload, filter out distractions and
increase calm, while still allowing your child to hear your voice and those
around them.
Your own personal hug. Do you feel restless, anxious or overstimulated? The
hug-like pressure gives a calming, safe and secure feeling and helps you cope

which delivers firm pressure around your upper body in a discreet and effective
way. Each vest comes with a hand pump and quick release valve.
The calming weighted blankets fit beautifully over a bed to ensure a peaceful
night’s sleep. They are filled with small poly beads and a comforting wadding
which allows the blanket to be used with, or without, existing bedding such as
a duvet. Weighted blankets work by calming and grounding the body’s Proprioceptive
system – which controls our sense of body position & awareness and is part
of the Central Nervous System. The Yona Hug weighted blanket can help
conditions such as Insomnia, PTSD, restless legs, anxiety, depression in addition
to sensory integration disorders associated with ASD, Asperger’s etc. We
recommend the Yona Hug blankets for teens and adults who are able to self
regulate and remove the blanket if they become too hot or if the blanket starts
to feel uncomfortable. We do not recommend the blanket for those that chew
or are likely to unpick the seams as the filling contains small parts that
could constitute a choking hazard.
The twistable therapy Tangle is a new ergonomic approach to stress

soft (latex free) rubberized material which is designed for
maximum tactile pleasure, making it perfect for special educational needs.
Create a dynamic sensory area at home with this specially designed package.
The items have been selected to allow for various combinations to maximise
the equipment and area. Using only one or two pieces of equipment at a time
the child can use the sensory items to help self-regulate.
