If you have a little one on the spectrum this is the stuff that has worked well for us.
A fabric swing of course. Perfect for vestibular support and sensory seeking.

This thing is so fun, it has different modes to hold interest. It’s great to bring in the car.
Poppet Games
We have an iPad for use as an AAC and a mini as well for fun and education.
iPad - Apple (CA)
Our toddler especially likes books with buttons and sounds she can engage with. She is not overly interested in story and dialogue.
Button Sound Books
Lots of things to climb and slide on.

This is a great play couch. It holds up to lots of abuse.
Roo & You
I can not recommend this app enough. It’s fully open ended and low stimulating. Lots of cause and effect fun and no levels or winning and losing to cause frustration.

Julia is autistic too. So fun to read and point out her AAC.
Julia (Sesame Street Friends) by Andrea Posner-Sanchez
Lots of fun for helping foster independence and routine skills.
Goally
Amazing and so fun for your hyperlexic kiddo.

A sensory seeking dream come true

A must have for laminating all the visuals you’re going to make.

Really helpful for creating spiral bound books to use for social stories.
Binding Machines
Another app my toddler loves. Amazing for every hyperlexic, alphabet loving kid. Mine spells out the words and then cheers after. The little monsters are so funny too. It’s a one time fee too and not a subscription which is a bonus.
Endless Alphabet - Apps on Google Play
For the chronically overstimulated moms. I have two pairs. One in my house and one in the car. Worth every penny.
Loop Earplugs
So much fun and uses up a lot of energy

So much fun to stretch and pull. Amazing fidget toys.

Another great fidget. Makes noise and is fun to play with.
