A FEW MINUTES

The toy quiz

Answer a few questions about your child's age and what they're into. You get a short list of toys that suit where they're actually at.

SORT-TOGETHER CARDS

The Kidera decks

Six card decks that help a child describe their own sensory needs, how they learn, what drains them and what settles them. Sort them together, or let an older child do it on their own. This Is Me is 39 cards and Sensory Strategies is 64, and your answers save as you go, so you can stop and come back. At the end, pop in your email and you get a one-page printable profile for home, school or therapy.

Two decks are free: This Is Me and Sensory Strategies. The other four are $19.99 for three months.

General, evidence-informed strategies. Not a diagnosis and not a substitute for assessment by a registered health practitioner.
