Supporting Sensory Needs Across Australia
Navigating sensory needs can be a daily challenge for autistic or ADHDer individuals of all ages, or for those with anxiety, or sensory processing differences. Sensory tools are powerful aids that offer targeted input to help regulate emotions, improve focus, and create calm. In Australia, Kaiko Fidgets has become a trusted provider of high-quality sensory tools designed for a wide range of needs, empowering individuals to thrive in their environments.
What Are Sensory Tools?
Sensory tools are items designed to engage the senses—touch, sight, sound, or movement—in a way that helps the user self-regulate. By providing tactile feedback, repetitive motion, or sensory engagement, these tools meet the needs of individuals who experience sensory overload, seek sensory input, or struggle with focus and self-regulation.
Whether it’s a tactile fidget, a stretchy squishy, or a spinning device, sensory tools can help individuals redirect energy, manage stress, and stay grounded during moments of overwhelm.
The Benefits of Sensory Tools
-
Enhanced Focus: Sensory tools help the brain stay engaged by providing low-effort, repetitive motions, making it easier to concentrate on tasks.
-
Emotional Regulation: These tools provide a safe outlet for managing emotions like anxiety, frustration, or restlessness.
-
Reduced Overwhelm: For individuals prone to sensory overload, sensory tools create a calming effect that can ease stress.
-
Promoted Independence: By addressing sensory needs, these tools allow individuals to self-regulate without relying on external intervention.
As Rosie C., a Kaiko Fidgets customer, shares, “I wear this every single day, it reduces my anxiety so much and helps me to stay regulated! Love love love it!”

Practical Uses for Sensory Tools
Sensory tools are versatile and can be incorporated into everyday routines to provide consistent support:
-
At Home: Sensory tools create a calming environment for relaxation or focused activities like reading, homework, or chores.
-
In the Classroom: Teachers can incorporate sensory tools into lessons to help students stay engaged and reduce disruptive behaviours.

Emotional Regulation with Sensory Tools
One of the key benefits of sensory tools is their ability to foster emotional regulation. For individuals managing stress, anxiety, or sensory overload, these tools provide a tactile or movement-based outlet for nervous energy, helping to create calm and clarity in high-pressure situations.
The Kaiko Fidgets Story
Kaiko Fidgets was founded by teenager Kai and his mum Jo, who has an Occupational Therapy background, to create tools that address sensory and emotional challenges. What began as a personal project to meet Kai’s own needs has grown into a trusted source of support for thousands across Australia.
As Hannah W. shares, “I love the weight of it. And the squish is the perfect consistency – I can’t describe it.”
