WHY THIS PAGE EXISTS
Practical. Evolving. Community-Centered.
This page is meant to be practical, evolving, and community-centered. Some families need immediate support. Others are looking for everyday tools that make life a little easier. We're building this resource library with a focus on accessibility, usefulness, and a range of price points.
This is a living resource. More community recommendations, borough-specific supports, and family-informed picks will continue to be added as we grow.
FEATURED
Most Useful for Everyday Support
A starting point for families looking for practical, everyday tools — across a range of budgets.
SENSORY & REGULATION
Sensory & Regulation Support
Tools that support self-regulation, sensory processing, and calm at home, in school, and on the go.
These products are commonly used by families of neurodivergent children to support sensory needs, emotional regulation, and daily comfort.
They are not medical devices and are not a substitute for professional support.
BUDGET-CONSCIOUS
Support for Everyone
Practical tools and resources that don't require a large budget. Every family deserves access to support.
This section highlights resources that are affordable, widely available, and genuinely useful. We've intentionally prioritized items that are accessible across income levels.
We will continue adding free and low-cost resources to this section. If you know of a resource that should be here, please submit it below.
WELLNESS
Wellness for Caregivers & Children
Sound practices, meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness tools for you and your child.
These resources support the whole family, including the caregiver. From guided meditations to sound baths and breathing tools, this section is for your nervous system too.
Caregiver wellness is not a luxury. It's part of the support system. We'll continue adding wellness resources for both parents and children.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Connect with Others
Virtual and live events for caregivers, parents, and families of neurodivergent children.
You don't have to navigate this alone. These events, online and in-person across NYC, are spaces to connect, learn, and find community with other families who get it.
