What makes PRE BOX different?

What sets PRE BOX apart is its unique use of sensory play crafted by speech-language pathologists with a deep understanding of neurodivergent children’s needs. It harnesses the power of play, regulation techniques, and professional expertise to help children prepare for experiences. Each box contains visual supports that provide children with essential “tools” to develop their communication skills while having fun. Additionally, parents receive guidance and tips on how to engage with their children and support their child’s readiness for real-life situations. PRE BOX sensory play boxes benefit typically developing children and those who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD/ADD, Down syndrome, Auditory Processing Disorder, language delays, speech delays, genetic disorders and more.
