This is for anyone who wants to better understand and help children who struggle with emotions, behaviours, fine motor skills and independence.
Our training packs and resources include practical tools, strategies, knowledge, understanding and skills to help you and your child with additional needs to cope with managing anxiety and difficult behaviours, while more importantly helping your child to gain independence to better participate in family and community activities
Anyone who wants to better understand and help children who struggle with emotions, behaviours, fine motor skills and independence.
Emotional Regulation:
✅ For kids who struggle to process emotions & as a result display difficult behaviours
✅ Learn strategies to keep calm and well regulated, allowing your child to participate in more activities, instead of constantly managing behaviours
✅ Understanding sensory profiles:
For kids with Sensory Processing Disorders including ASD
✅ Learn how different sensory tools and strategies impact your child's emotional regulation and therefore behaviour
✅ Learn strategies to manage sensory sensitivities, allowing your child more independence and increasing their ability to participate in the community
Understanding Emotions
✅ For kids who have trouble reading, understanding and expressing emotions as well as understanding how their actions impact others around them
✅ Understanding and recognising emotions is key to getting emotions under control and responding to how we feel in a socially acceptable manner. If we can't recognise how we are feeling, then we dont know how to fix it or avoid it next time.
Routines and Visual Schedules
✅ For kids who rely on routines and who get extremely upset with change
✅ Routines require executive functioning skills, time management, working memory, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, motor planning, understanding context, problem solving
✅ Visual schedules take away the pressure and stress of having to remember what to do and in what order, especially when there so many skills required to complete each task.
✅ Learning how and when to use visual schedules will greatly increase your child's independence
Life Skills
✅ So many life skills are taught in our printable resources and training including fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, crossing the midline, pincer grip, handwriting, emotional regulation, time management, executive functioning, motor planning, cooking, planning and shopping for meals, understanding body parts and so much more
✅ These skills will help your child to become more independent and to participate in a wider range of community and self care activities
Fine Motor Skills
✅ For kids who struggle to write, do up buttons, dress themselves, complete simple tasks like buttering bread, ruling up a page etc
✅ Cutting, tracing, drawing and pincer grip activities will help develop finger and hand strength as well as coordination, ready for every tasks like writing, puzzles, buttons, zips etc
✅ Bilateral coordination and crossing the midline activities will help your child to independently complete tasks with both hands working together in the centre of the body - like ruling up a page, typing shoelaces, eating with a knife & fork

✅ Is it value for money?
Definitely! Our training & printables packs contain loads of therapy resources, tips, tricks, coping strategies, sensory tools, knowledge and understanding that I have gathered over 10 years (640 hrs) with my two children (Autism) in early intervention therapy with speechies, psychs, teachers, therapy assistants and more.
This combined knowledge, along with your current therapy hours and goals will give you practical tools and strategies to implement at home, that will make a world of difference when it comes to managing difficult behaviours and more importantly will help your child, in time. to become more independent at home and in the community.
✅ Can this be provided by an informal support?
This is a form of informal support, saving you loads of therapy hours as well as time to design and make up your own routines, fine motor activities, emotions packs etc.
Tools and strategies learned in the training can be implemented at home and in the classroom straight away, helping to keep your child better regulated, growing their independence and equipping you with coping strategies for a calmer and more peaceful home.
to confidently teach and equip kids to succeed at school and in life 💖
Hi I'm Tash, Director of Little Wooden Toybox, designer of the Letter Basics resources (our own brand), single mum of two teens with ASD (Autism), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and we've recently added PDA (Extreme Demand Avoidance) to the list - fun times!
My background is in teaching (B.Ed K-7) as well as special/additional needs, and this combined with over 10 years of early intervention has given me a unique insight into - Understanding difficult behaviours and why they occur
- Understanding how emotional regulation and sensory input impacts both us as parents and our little ones (diagnosed or not)
- Developing, implementing and managing resources & coping strategies to make home life calmer & more organised
All of these concepts and resources can be applied in the classroom, home and/or therapy; equipping parents, teachers, early childhood educators and therapists with tools and strategies to confidently manage difficult behaviours.
It's also important to note that these strategies also work for neurotypical children and children struggling with anxiety, helping to keep you and them calm and happy, and ready to learn and play!
“I have lived this day in & day out for the last 14 years – I am in a unique position to not only create amazing resources with input from therapists, but to test them in real life situations at home (where all the crazy comes out!)” – Tash K
