About Us
TFH Special Needs Toys Canada, based in Pickering, Ontario, has been a trusted Canadian source for sensory toys, special needs equipment, and multi‑sensory room design since 2005. We proudly ship across Canada, supporting families, schools, therapists, and healthcare organizations from coast to coast.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that every person deserves access to meaningful, inclusive play. For many individuals with disabilities, sensory processing differences, or developmental challenges, play is not always easy or accessible. That’s why we focus on overcoming obstacles to play—removing barriers, creating accessible environments, and offering tools that support communication, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and independence.
🧸 A Family Business With Global Roots
TFH Special Needs Toys is a family‑owned company operating in Canada, the United Kingdom, United States of America, and Sweden. We have been designing and manufacturing special needs toys in the United Kingdom since the 1980s, and our British‑made sensory equipment is used in special schools, therapy centres, and homes around the world.
Since 1983, our global mission has remained the same: to help individuals overcome obstacles to play by providing high‑quality, accessible, and developmentally supportive products. In Canada, we continue this legacy by offering high‑quality sensory tools and multi‑sensory environments tailored to the needs of Canadian educators, clinicians, and families.
🛠️ Expertise Backed by Global Training & Local Craftsmanship
Our sensory specialists are trained by Ad Verheul from the Hartenberg Centre, learning the fundamental philosophy, historical background, planning, and conceptual foundations of multi‑sensory environments.
We are also proud to collaborate with:
- Local steel fabricators
- Skilled plastic moulders
- Experienced fabric finishers
These partnerships allow us to create original, durable, British‑made sensory products that support accessibility, therapeutic outcomes, and joyful play.
TFH Canada provides complimentary sensory room design services, creating:
- Calming rooms for emotional regulation
- Active sensory integration spaces
- Therapeutic environments for OT, PT, and SLP programs
- Accessible spaces that support autonomy and sensory control
- Every room we design is built with one purpose: to help individuals overcome obstacles to play, learning, and participation.
