What are Spectrum Support Packs?
At Together for Neurodiversity, we understand that every autistic child and family is unique. That’s why we’ve created Spectrum Support Packs — specially curated packs filled with a range of tools, resources, and sensory items designed to support autistic children and their families.
Each box includes a mix of:
- Easy-to-understand information about autism to help you and your family better understand autistic experiences
- Resources for the autistic child themselves, to help them understand their own strengths and needs
- Support materials for family members — siblings, parents, grandparents, and more — to foster understanding and connection
- Sensory tools like weighted lap pads or blankets, fidget toys, scented slime, liquid timers, ear defenders, chewelry, therapy balls, and more
- Children’s books about autism and neurodiversity, helping to celebrate differences
- A variety of other carefully selected items to support sensory processing, emotional wellbeing, communication, and learning
Why Choose a Spectrum Support Pack?
These packs are designed to provide practical and emotional support, easing the challenges faced by autistic children and their families. Whether you’re looking for sensory tools to help your child stay calm, resources to explain autism in an accessible way, or advice tailored to your family’s needs, the Spectrum Support Pack can help.
Each box has a retail value of over £200, but we ask families to contribute only £25. The remainder is funded by grants to make this support as accessible as possible.
