Help your child become a sensory detective.
My Sensory Toolbox is an interactive, child-friendly guide designed to help children notice body clues, explore sensory preferences, discover helpful strategies, and communicate what they need.
Through colorful activities, real-life examples, and practical tools, children can explore:
- Body clues and sensory preferences
- Sound, touch, clothing, grooming, and food experiences
- Movement, heavy work, breathing, and sensory breaks
- Transitions, learning, focus, and big feelings
- Self-advocacy and asking for help
- Building a personalized sensory toolbox
Written by occupational therapist Kit Warner, OTR/L, this book encourages children to become curious about their own bodies rather than treating sensory differences as "good" or "bad."
The goal is not to create one "right" response. The goal is to help children notice what they experience, try supportive tools, communicate their needs, and discover what helps them participate more comfortably in everyday life.
Ideal for families, occupational therapy settings, classrooms, and caregivers looking for practical, approachable ways to support sensory awareness and self-advocacy.
