Sensory Development Gross Motor Skills Fine Motor Skills
Office Playground has a wide variety of toys that can help people facing the unique challenges of autism find some relaxation and fun. Fidget toys provide a unique tactile experience with different textures. Some toys with sound or repetitive actions are relaxing and comforting. There are also toys for developing large motor skills, fine motor skills, and coordination. Find the toy that best fits your needs; because some people with Autism can be sensitive to sensory input, be careful when selecting a sensory toy as a gift.

 Sensory Development


Sensory development toys provide tactile, auditory or visual stimulation. Light up balls and repetitive movement toys such as a Newton’s Cradle or Liquid Motion toys are fun to watch. Soothing sounds of the waterfall tube are relaxing and calming. Fidget toys and stress balls keep hands busy, provide different textures and sensory experiences, and can help redirect less desirable behaviors.
