What is a sensory toolkit?

A sensory toolkit is a set of tools and toys that can help calm a person’s nervous system when they are overstimulated. This can be very helpful for children with autism. 

There are many social expectations that come along with church attendance. One example would be sitting still. Another is remaining quiet during the sermon. Abiding by these rules can be difficult for some people with autism. Having supports in place like a sensory toolkit may help a person with autism fully participate in the worship service without experiencing sensory overload.
