Thoughtful tools.

Find your everyday need.

Read the guide. Consider the options. Choose what fits.

Sleep & bedtime

Routine and environment tools

Think about predictability first: visual routine aids, dim lighting, simple timers and comfortable bedding can support a routine when they match the child's needs.

Ask before choosing

  • Can it fit the routine we already use?
  • Is it appropriate for the child’s age and needs?

Potty learning

Make the setup easier to use

Stable seats, step stools, visual sequences and easy-clean supplies can reduce practical barriers. Fit and comfort matter more than novelty.

Ask before choosing

  • Does it fit securely in our bathroom?
  • Is it easy to clean and use with everyday clothing?

Sensory support

Match the tool to the need

Noise reduction, movement, tactile tools and calming spaces serve different purposes. Observe what the child seeks or avoids before choosing equipment.

Ask before choosing

  • What situation are we trying to make easier?
  • Can we try a simple option before buying equipment?

Communication

Keep communication accessible

Picture supports, portable writing tools and organization supplies may make communication supports easier to keep available across settings.

Ask before choosing

  • Will it be available where communication happens?
  • Can all caregivers use it consistently?

Meals

Reduce unnecessary friction

Predictable cups, utensils, divided dishes or food-storage options can sometimes help, but the goal is a workable meal rather than a perfect setup.

Ask before choosing

  • Does its size, weight, or texture suit our child?
  • Can we try one before buying a whole set?

Routines

Make the next step visible

Timers, dry-erase boards, labels and simple visual schedules can make transitions less dependent on repeated verbal reminders.

Ask before choosing

  • Can our child understand the pictures or words?
  • Can the schedule change when the day changes?

Safety

Plan before buying

Identification and home-safety tools can support a larger safety plan, but no device replaces supervision or an individualized emergency strategy.

Ask before choosing

  • How does it fit our existing safety plan?
  • What happens if it fails or is unavailable?

Travel & outings

Build a portable support kit

Pack familiar regulation tools, snacks, communication supports, chargers and cleanup basics so the family has options when plans change.

Ask before choosing

  • Will it fit in the bag we actually carry?
  • Can it be cleaned, replaced, or used away from home?

Play & learning

Follow interests, then expand

Open-ended toys, familiar themes and hands-on materials can create opportunities for shared play without forcing one 'correct' way to engage.

Ask before choosing

  • Does it build on an interest our child already has?
  • Is it suitable for their age and safe way of playing?

Caregiver organization

Keep essential information portable

A simple binder, document pouch, labels or dedicated organizer can make handoffs easier when digital access is unavailable.

Ask before choosing

  • Can another caregiver find what they need quickly?
  • Can private information be kept secure and up to date?

SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT

Medical & safety beds

These manufacturer links are already included in the MTM app. They are examples to discuss with a prescribing clinician and equipment provider, not general bedtime recommendations.

An enclosed bed is not simply a sensory purchase. Individual risks, entrapment, emergency release, suitability, and funding need professional review. Never improvise an enclosure or modify a bed outside its manufacturer’s instructions.
