🌟Kids - Neurodivergent-friendly (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, OCD) 🧸
Being a neurodivergent child can be EXTRA hard - it's so difficult to find the words to explain what's causing stress or to know what's wanted and needed. I am taking the guesswork out of it for you and suggesting items to help reduce unnecessary or ...
What a fun and fabulous children's sofa, I want one myself!!! Sofa fort anyone??! This is so durable with removable covers. Some neurodivergent people can struggle with the texture of corduroy, so getting this incredibly fun sofa in the vegan microsuede is probably best. Our brains find blues, greens and browns the easiest to process as these are the colours we find around us naturally in the outdoors with all the grass, trees, water, and soil. So if you want to choose a super sensory underloaded option then head for those colours, otherwise, maybe ask your child to choose the colour they are drawn to and see if they pick one of the brighter options that may be ok for them 🥳🧸
These bubble tubes are incredible for creating gentle light and calming visuals. Frankly, whether you're a kid or a grown-up, this is going to massively relax you, and you have the added benefit of not having to look after real fish! These are fantastic in a corner of the room to give that lovely gentle movement or placed in front of a mirror to create more light and movement. Lots of my neurodivergent friends have tried and liked them in both positions so just see what works for you. Such a fantastic sensory light 👏🏻
Absolutely fantastic sensory putty. These are great for helping to reduce anxiety and for keeping your hands busy, which can help with focus. I love that these come in different consistencies, because we have different needs on different days, so being able to choose which putty to use is fabulous. These are also awesome for helping with hand mobility and strength - you might as well give your hands a gentle workout while you play. Cool colours and feels lovely, these are great to just pop in your desk drawer for when you need a quick fix 🙌
These are incredible! I have one in every room of my house. It's so easy to become overwhelmed when you are neurodivergent, that having something to hand to create that perfect 1 minute rest your mind needs is fabulous. These feel lovely to the touch, are so wonderfully relaxing to watch, and take the right amount of time for all the droplets to fall that the brain needs to reset and have a little rest. These make wonderful gifts and adults and kids absolutely love them ❤️
What a fabulous collection of fidget toys. This is the ideal pack if you or your children struggle with focus or need something to feel calmer. A fantastic mix of items here covers a big part of the range of sensory fidget toys. There are a lot on the market, lots of good ones too, but this is one of the better collections I've come across, particularly for autistic, ADHD, and dyspraxic people 👏🏻
It's the best sensory light projector I've come across! Not only does it project clearly, but it has the option of adding white noise to help with sleep, AND has loads of settings for you to alter the noise and brightness levels so you can adjust it perfectly to whatever you need. Kids will absolutely love this. But I also know many neurodivergent adults who use these in their own bedrooms, living and office spaces, and who find them incredibly calming as well as so, so beautiful to watch. I would love for every person to have one of these in their homes to relax with. These make awesome gifts 🥰
If you only get one thing for the gamer in your life, let it be this! It's hugely helpful in supporting the arms, which then takes pressure off the spine and neck that are easily damaged with bad posture. Many neurodivergent people do not sit naturally in the upright position and the slouching can cause damage - having... Plus, it feels nice and has a simple design so very neurodivergent-friendly 🕹️🫶🏽
Awesome beanbag, loved by everyone 👏🏻 Many neurodivergent people like different seating options, particularly beanbags. They make us feel more comfortable physically and mentally, so please put beanbags in as many room as you can. This particular beanbag is awesome! Not only is this an outstanding gaming chair but it can be used in any room, I have one that I use for reading my books and it's fantastic! This is essential for any gamer 🕹️🫶🏽
A beanstool you can put anywhere around your house, office, or gaming room! This fantastic gaming footstool matches perfectly the gaming beanbag so if you prefer to sometimes have your legs down or up, this is a great combination for you (whereas you're better off with the beanlounger if you know you love having your legs su... This will help to take the weight off the spine when legs are on the footstool and when not in use, you can just pop a tray to sit on top of it to either keep all your gaming controllers together or to store snacks and drinks to keep you powered up f... Absolutely love this 🕹️👏🏻
If your budget can stretch to it, this is a next level awesome beanbag lounger, loved by everyone 👏🏻 Many neurodivergent people like different seating options, particularly beanbags and beanloungers that seat us closer to the floor. They make us feel more comfortable physically and mentally, so please put beanbags in as many room as you can. This particular bealounger is awesome! Not only is this an outstanding gaming lounger but it can be used in any room - this would be perfect for any snug to read all the books you've been promising yourself you'll get around to reading! This is essential for any gamer 🕹️🫶🏽
Many with OCD say they prefer to use a different face cloth each time they wash, and they're not alone. I hear many people from the neurodivergent community saying they need to feel fresh fabric on their face each time they either want to have a face (or body) wash or dry. These little bamboo cotton squares were created with babies in mind so they are obviously super soft and friendly to the skin. They are the perfect size to store in the bathroom, pop one into your pocket or bag for on the go and they wash beautifully. I have bought many packs of these over the years and I absolutely love them, highly recommend as neurodivergent-friendly wash cloths 🥰
Many neurodivergent people are sensitive to fragrances and fabrics so it's really tricky to find wet wipes that don't cause anxiety. After many, many years of trial and error, it was my mum who suggested I try these wipes to remove makeup, clean my hands on the go, and for bathroom clean ups. I was sceptical, but I have never looked back. They are so gentle on the skin in terms of touch and have not caused any reaction. The wipes themselves are touchable and the scent is super light. I have hyperosmia (incredible sensitive to smells) and I can easily tolerate these. They are the only ones that I've found that also don't leave you feeling sticky in any way. They are as neurodivergent-friendly as wet wipes get so if you're looking for some for you or your children, these are fabulous 🥳
Best neurodivergent-friendly rug I have found anywhere! Underfoot fabric that is not the right texture or has the wrong pattern can be incredibly distressing to some neurodivergent people who may find it either anxiety-inducing to touch or difficult to process mentally and potentially causing balance issu... I have had a range of my neurodivergent friends and family try out various rugs and this one has won everyone over. It is the absolute best rug I have come across that has the right texture, pattern, and colour to it. It's so soft but durable. I only had it on the floor for a minute and in that time both of my cats settled on the rug and could not be moved. My kids love this too. Best to put this rug on top of either non-patterned or neutral carpet, or wood flooring so you don't have a clash of patterns (I recommend non-slip underlay for the rug wherever you put it as rugs do creep, and Dunelm has the best non-slip underlay I... Love this 👏🏻
Fabulous humidifier that can help neurodivergent anxiety! Many neurodivergent people are highly sensitive to their environment and need fresh air. However, when the colder months mean we seal up our home to drafts, the heating can then dry out the air, which can be very irritating to the skin and eyes. I suffered for years and then found this super quiet and super effective humidifier that I use in quite a large open living/dining room. It silently mists the air and keeps the room to a wonderfully comfortable 50 degrees (my preferred setting, but you can change this up or down) and my plants that are busy purifying my air and calming my senses are absolutely thriving as their leaves... Absolutely love this. Once you have one, you'll wonder how you coped all those years before! 🥳
Neurodivergent people in particular can be incredibly sensitive to smells and find them anxiety-inducing. I spent a long time trying to find shoe fresheners for my children's shoes (as well as my own) that didn't overpower me with the smell and I finally came across this food powder. It is fantastic. Works so well and because it's all natural it's much kinder on all your senses. 100% recommended for everyone in your family 🙌
YES, this is absolutely perfect for organising all of these essential things you need when you have a baby. It's the best for keeping everything you need and all of my neurodivergent friends love them, because it feels nice to the touch, lovely calming colour, keeps everything neat and easily accessible, which is exactly what we need when we are sensory-ov...
I actually use mine on a wardrobe shelf and keep all of my feminine products in there along with a load of beauty products, hair brushes etc, it's absolutely fantastic to just pull out, find what I need and then store. Fantastic storage solution if you don't have a baby. Also great for keeping all your pet stuff in one place and to take out with you on your pet outings! Love it ❤️

Look at these! It is SO, SO difficult to find biomorphic art that can have so much colour and still be easy for the mind to process, particularly when there are three pieces near to each other. Henri Matisse has pulled off this incredible feat with this gorgeous trio in soft and warm pink/red colours that will soften any room - perfect for children's bedrooms if you're looking for a touch of colour without impacting sleep 🌟
Such refreshing yet gentle colours and shapes from Henri Matisse. These will go anywhere but absolutely perfect for a children's bedroom where soft colours add depth to your walls but unlikely to interfere with sleep. The colours and shapes in here are like a hug for the mind and a gorgeous collection for any home and absolutely loved by most people whether they are neurodivergent or not 🌟
This is two fantastic neurodivergent-friendly things in one! 🥳 First off, you have the glorious mirror ball planter. When the light hits this it will create the most beautiful and calming shimmer of lights across walls, ceilings and even in gardens. So many neurodivergent people I know have these - they are calming on the senses to look at when they do not have light bouncing off them, and they are wonderfully beautiful and soothing when they gently sparkle when hit with sunlight or indoor light... Perfect for hanging from the ceiling in a children's bedroom. If you then put in a living plant (particularly a fern or palm type plant) then it will add to the soothing effects as well as help to purify the air, which is fabulous for those with heightened senses who pick up on impurities in the environment. This is also soothing as it connects the senses to the outdoors and that is calming. These come in many different sizes and are easily installed and look incredibly cool too. Brilliant gift to either yourself or someone else - just fabulous 👏🏻
A lovely parlour palm, incredibly gentle to look at. Not only is this neurodivergent-friendly because it is soft to the touch and easy to mentally process, but it is also excellent at purifying the air, which is essential to neurodivergent people who have a heightened sense of smell or are very sensiti... It is also non-toxic so safe for kids and pets. Fantastic to line higher-up bookshelves in children's rooms to connect their senses to the outdoors as that is super calming. Such happy little palms to fill up your living and work spaces 🌱♾️🌈🫶🏽
Such a soft and gentle plant to look at and really easy to care for. Particularly fabulous for putting in a hanging basket from the ceiling in children's bedrooms as they trail beautifully but will be out of reach. They're non-toxic so safe forchildren and pets who do manage to touch them. Not only is this neurodivergent-friendly because it is soft to the touch and easy to mentally process, but it is also excellent at purifying the air, which is essential to neurodivergent people who have a heightened sense of smell or are very sensiti...

Incredibly neurodivergent-friendly lights. I've tried previous strings of copper lights and they've been little pops of blinding light. These lights are nothing like that, they have a lovely gentle warm glow to each of the tiny lights on the string. The most neurodivergent-friendly are the warm lights on the copper wire in the first photo. I've wrapped them around the bamboo stalks of my fake bamboo plant in the corner of the room and so many little fairly lights in one place but all dotted about the plant create the most beautifully calm and warm glow in the corner of the room. You can have the lights on all kinds of different settings, but I find that having them just switched on without any flashing is absolutely perfect. These would work wonders in children's bedrooms to frame pictures and to frame headboards in older children's bedrooms, and to curl up into glass jars to provide warming and soothing light on bookshelves for all ages. Absolutely recommend these, they're fabulous ❤️
Such a lovely little affordable lamp. To make your spaces as neurodivergent-friendly as possible, try to have as many lighting options as possible. These are great to put on children's bedroom shelves as well as side tables. They'll add a warm little glow to any area of a room and make fantastic accent lights. Add in a smart bulb to make it dimmable so you can set the light as you want it to be and to come on and off on timers to help children get gradually used to the light going off in the night and help with learning to sleep in the dark 👏🏻
