Sensory Tools for Students

Sensory Equipment for Autism and Inclusive Education

For autistic students, sensory input can deeply impact their ability to learn, feel safe and connect with others. Our selection of sensory equipment for autism is designed to promote regulation, reduce sensory overload, and foster independence within the classroom.

From compression vests and therapy balls to tactile mats and calming lights, each piece of sensory equipment we offer is reviewed for quality, safety and suitability in Australian schools. These aren’t just tools — they’re building blocks for inclusive, supportive education that empowers every student.

Tools That Help Students Take Control of Their Day

Supporting students in the classroom goes beyond academics. It is also about giving them the tools to manage their time, emotions and energy independently. Sensory tools can build these habits by helping students notice how they are feeling and respond calmly.

Visual timers give a clear sense of time, while noise-reducing headphones offer relief during noisy transitions. Fidgets and movement tools help release energy without distraction.

With the right supports in place, students can stay focused, move between tasks more easily and feel more confident managing their school day.

Back-to-School with Sensory Confidence

Heading back to school can be exciting but also overwhelming for many students. A thoughtful set of sensory-friendly tools can make all the difference in easing the transition.

Items like chewable pencil toppers, textured grips and noise-cancelling headphones help students feel calm and in control from the first bell. Even simple tools like a portable visual timer or a lap weight for seated work can offer valuable support throughout the day.

With the right setup, children return to school not just prepared but emotionally ready to learn.

Making Learning More Enjoyable Through Sensory Play

Sensory play is not just for home. It can be a powerful part of learning at school too. For many students, combining tasks with tactile, visual or movement-based tools leads to better focus, memory and enjoyment.

A textured number line during maths, calming putty in reading groups or a liquid timer for transitions can all help make lessons more engaging. These tools support students who benefit from hands-on approaches, turning typical classroom routines into creative and enjoyable learning moments.

When learning feels good, confidence grows and students thrive.
