Improve learning outcomes and behaviour

Children with an autism spectrum disorder often seek out sensory activities, eg chewing, twirling, and fidgeting. They find specific sensory experiences calming, eg rocking, flicking, visual patterns, flapping. Holding an object in their hands can often enhance learning. For example, if given a sensory toy to hold at mat time a child can sit for longer, concentrate better, be less disruptive to peers, is calmer and has reduced anxiety levels.
