Braille Learning Fidget Keychain (White)
$9.95
This keychain fidget has a six-dot Braille cell that you press and move with your fingers, so you can form letters and symbols by touch and learn how a cell is built.

It works for blind, low vision, and sighted learners, including kids, adults new to Braille, and classrooms, and it doubles as a plain fidget toy. It's a hands-on way to get familiar with the cell, not a full Braille curriculum.

Sensa Large Bubble Tube
Est. $250–$600
The Sensa Large Bubble Tube is a tall, free-standing water tube that sends bubbles up through the water while colour-changing LED lights glow and brightly coloured fish bob and swim. The moving bubbles and the quiet pump hum make a calming scene, and watching the fish gives a reason to track movement with the eyes. It suits a calm-down corner, a therapy room, or a quiet space. It stands about 183cm tall on a black base and weighs 2kg. Lights can run through a spectrum of colours or be set to one colour, and they switch off by themselves after 4 hours. This is the UK mains-powered version, so check the plug type before ordering. A wall bracket is sold separately and is recommended to keep a tall tube steady and secure.

$5.95

They come as one pair in a one-size-fits-all fit, and they're washable, so you can use them again. They suit someone who is around loud sound for long stretches, or who finds everyday noise overwhelming and wants to turn it down. They lower noise rather than shut it out completely.

Wall-Mounted Activity Center
$329.95

Each part gives a clear response when touched, so it works well for a child learning cause and effect, practicing grasp, or getting sensory input. It comes with mounting hardware and runs on 2 C batteries, which sit behind the mirror. You'll need to fasten it to a wall, and the music and colors can vary from what's pictured.

Switch Adapted Vibrating Pillow
Est. $35–$75
This pillow gives off soothing vibrations when someone presses a connected switch, so a person can start and stop a calming sensory experience on their own. It works with any switch that has a 3.5mm plug, which makes it a good fit for someone who can only press a switch (such as a large button) and wants to see a direct result from that press. It comes in six colors and batteries are included. You'll need to supply the switch yourself, and choosing one that suits the person's movement is worth thinking through before you buy.

It suits someone who wants a steady sound and gentle light to help settle in a bedroom, though the sound options are built in, so you can't add your own audio.

LumiPets (Set of 3)
$99.95
LumiPets are three portable, color-changing lamps shaped like an owl, a bunny, and a unicorn, made for a sensory room or quiet corner.

It is designed to be used with routines described in APH's Sensing and Learning.

Peter the Penguin Switch
$149.95
Peter the Penguin is a switch shaped like a penguin on an iceberg. Pressing his head or anywhere on the base activates a switch-adapted toy or device plugged into it. You can set it to give its own feedback with lights, vibration, or music, in any combination. It works as a momentary switch, so the person has to keep pressing for the connected device to stay on. That makes it a good fit for a child who is learning cause and effect, practicing reaching, or building visual and sensory awareness. It runs on 2 AA batteries and stands about 6½ inches tall.
