Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! The Treasure Box can be used daily as a tool to support routines, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and learning.

Here are some ways the Treasure Box can be integrated into daily life:

1. Daily Visual Schedule
The mini reusable daily schedule in the Treasure Box can be used every day to help set up routines and provide structure. This is especially beneficial for individuals with autism or ADHD, who often thrive on predictability and routine. You can mark off or update the schedule each day as needed, helping with transitions like morning routines, school activities, and bedtime routines.

Using the sensory toys daily helps individuals take breaks throughout the day to self-regulate and calm down. The fidget toys, stress balls, and stretchy bands can be used during school breaks, work sessions, or while at home to maintain focus or manage anxiety.
3. Focus & Relaxation
The Treasure Box is perfect for providing a space where an individual can focus on calming activities. If someone is feeling overstimulated, they can turn to the sensory items to help manage their emotions. For example, the squishy toys or textured items could be part of a daily calming routine.
4. Educational Activities
The Treasure Box is not just about toys—it’s also about learning and engagement. Incorporating it into daily activities like homework, reading time, or social skills training can make these tasks more enjoyable and engaging.
5. End of Day Reflection
At the end of each day, the Treasure Box can be used as part of a reflective routine where the individual can review their day using the visual schedule or even talk through the activities they’ve done with the fidget tools helping to focus the conversation.
