Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a diagnosis to shop these age guides?
No—anyone can benefit from sensory tools. Our age guides prioritize safety, usability, and everyday comfort for a wide range of preferences.
Should I shop by age or by sensory need?
If you’re brand new, age can be a helpful starting point. If you know the main challenge (noise, movement, visual seeking), try Shop by Need. You can also take the Sensory Toy Finder Quiz.
What if my teen or adult wants discreet options?
See our Adult (18+) page for low-profile tools like lap pads, subtle fidgets, and headphones designed for school and work settings.
Are weighted items safe for kids?
General guideline: about 10% of body weight for blankets/lap pads, and the user should be able to remove it independently. When in doubt, consult a professional.
