Calm-in-a-Kit: Sensory Kits for First Responders

I love this idea! A 16 year old girl

created sensory kits for First Responders to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder. She was inspired by her twin brother who is on the spectrum. Here are some items she includes:

1. noise reducing earmuffs
2. picture-based communication cards
3. a white board and marker
4. plush toys, fidgets, stress balls
5. sun glasses
6. soft fleece “lovey” blankets

She is spot-on in deciding what items to include. Here are a few more ideas…

7. a water bottle with crazy straw –

8. a toy that vibrates

9. a pin wheel

10. rubriks cube
