Sensory toys for Ivy to encourage focus and self calming

Posted Nov 14, 2023
Ivy has been learning at a remarkable pace since entering school this fall. She is engaging with same age peers for the first time in her young life. While she is making many healthy gains, she often struggles to slow down. She does best transitioning with support of adults and the use of sensory toys, which give her a sense of calm and allow her to refocus her attention.

Ivy is 6 years old and lives in ME

Ivy recently entered foster care for the second time in her young life. She is placed with her sister in a foster home and has entered public school for the first time! She is thriving in her special education program and is learning at an exceptional pace. Ivy was diagnosed with Autism and has been learning how to vocalize her needs and feelings in her new supportive environments. She especially enjoys playing outside with other children, imaginative play, sensory toys, art and all things "Halloween" themed.
