Sensory Toys for Autism

Here at Special Needs Resources, we are constantly expanding our range of products to assist those with autism manage the various symptoms of this condition.

This includes products such as fidget toys to help with sensory processing, chew toys for oral stimulation, and more.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that involves persistent challenges in social interaction, speech and nonverbal communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviours. The effects of ASD and the severity of symptoms are different in each person, and managing symptoms requires more than a one-size fits all approach.

Some will experience issues with social interaction, including conversational problems, challenges in understanding and responding to social cues such as eye contact and facial expressions, and deficits in understanding and maintaining relationships.

Others on the autism spectrum may have restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour, speak in unique ways, require structure and routine to function effectively, exhibit intense interests in particular activities or experience the sensory aspects of the world in an extreme or unusual way (such as indifference to pain or temperature, excessive smelling/touching of objects, fascination with lights and movement, being overwhelmed with loud sounds, or a sensory need to chew).

No two individuals with autism will display the same set of symptoms — Special Needs Resources’ range of autism toys is comprehensive and designed to assist all of our customers with their diverse needs.
