My regular followers know I often write about Sensory Processing Disorder. As the publisher of The Sensory Spectrum, I’m often asked to make specific tool recommendations or toy ideas for birthdays and Christmas.
With the first snowfall, I’m feeling inspired to share my sensory Christmas gifts recommendations with you all. I’ve broken them into separate categories to help you pinpoint what your child may like and need.
In addition, check out my top sensory Christmas toy recommendations from last year.

November 18, 2014 at 1:08 pmI love the list. Please consider calling it “holiday” vs. Christmas. I’m sure you want all families with sensory challenges to feel included.

November 16, 2015 at 4:15 amHi Jenny
Am just bringing out a new Autism Annual – a sort of 3 in 1 diary/journal/tips & resources. Are you happy if I put a link to some of your resources.
Also just bringing out my new home-based audio program called Soundsrite (based on AIT) which might be of interest to some of the people who read this site. Couldn’t see any contact details re advertising etc? Perhaps you could give me your contact details sometime please. Best wishes Stella

December 9, 2015 at 11:50 amAw thanks, Sara! All of this hard work comes from a place of love for my own kids and recognizing other parents need the resources I wish had existed for me in the beginning.
