The Power of Play

Toys are not medicines, play is not a cure.

There is power in play that psychiatrists use to reveal and OTs to stretch, but here, play is a spinning wheel, the child is clay and you are a potter, probably a beginner.

Maintain the spin, feel the shapes, forget the pot, play is dancing with risk, you love it and will get better.

What sensory toys do

Calming

Sensory input at a lower amplitude than the room is supplying. For bodies overwhelmed by the ordinary world: noise, light, demands. Often used for autism and anxiety.

Alerting

Sensory input at a higher amplitude than the body is currently receiving. For bodies that are under-fed and have started to drift, fidget, or shut down. Often used for ADHD and sensory processing differences.

Fidget

Small, repetitive, hand-scale toys that give the body something to do while the mind does something else. Useful for focus, for managing anxiety, and for hands that need work.

Tactile

Toys that meet the skin with texture, temperature, pressure, or resistance. The hand's vocabulary. For bodies that need touch to know where they are.

Oral

Toys for the mouth. Oral sensory input can help people manage their overall sensory input.

Visual distraction

Moving light, slow change, things to watch. Sensory regulation through the visual system.

Auditory

Auditory processing is involuntary, so control of Auditory Toys that make interesting sounds is empowering.

Cause and effect

Toys that respond predictably to action help the mind with prediction and the body its power.
