What Parents Say
-
"It's not overwhelming. Just clear, kind, and actually useful. I feel like I have a therapist's voice in my head now, helping me think through things."
Maya, mum of 4-year-old with sensory processing differences -
"It's exactly what I needed to keep therapy going at home."
Ina, mum of 5-year-old with developmental delay -
"The swimming guide was eye opening. I finally understood why my daughter was refusing to get in the pool, it wasn't stubbornness, it was sensory overload from the echoing sounds and the feeling of wet clothes. Once I could see where her difficulties were actually coming from, I knew how to help. We started with the guide's gradual exposure steps, and now she's comfortable in the water. Understanding the 'why' changed everything."
Sarah, mum of 5-year-old with sensory processing differences -
"Having something I can reference on my phone during hard moments has been so helpful. I don't have to remember everything, I can just check the guide."
Tom, dad of 6-year-old with autism -
"I wish every family had access to this kind of support at home"
Janette, Paediatric Occupational Therapist -
"Finally, a product that understands what we actually need at home. It’s not just fun, it helps my child build the exact skills we talk about in therapy."
Sam, mum of 7-year-old with sensory difficulties

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MyTheraPlayBox?
MyTheraPlayBox is an occupational therapist designed resource service for families supporting children with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences. We offer two types of support: therapy inspired play boxes delivered to your door, and downloadable digital guides and apps covering specific developmental challenges. Everything is created by qualified paediatric OTs to help you support your child's progress at home, in between therapy sessions and throughout everyday life.
What's in our subscription box?
The MyTheraPlay Box is a skill box curated by paediatric occupational therapists. Each box contains therapist selected toys, fine motor activities, and hand strengthening tools, along with a guided activity plan that shows you exactly how to use each item to support your child's development. It is designed to make home based therapy support practical, consistent, and achievable for busy families.
What are the Digital Guides?
Our Digital Guides are comprehensive, downloadable resources written by paediatric occupational therapists to help parents tackle specific challenges with confidence. Topics include swimming and sensory sensitivity, emotional regulation, toileting, mealtime difficulties, haircuts support and more. You get immediate access after purchase and can reference them on your phone during challenging moments, before appointments, or share them with your child's educators and caregivers.
What age is MyTheraPlayBox designed for?
Our resources are designed primarily for children aged 4 to 8 with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, or developmental delays. Many activities and guides are also suitable for younger or older children depending on their individual stage of development. If you are unsure whether our resources are right for your child, feel free to get in touch.
Who creates the MyTheraPlayBox resources?
Everything: the boxes, the activity guides, and the digital resources is created by qualified paediatric occupational therapists with hands on clinical experience. Our resources are not generic parenting content. They are evidence informed, practically designed tools that reflect how children with additional needs actually develop and learn.
How do I know if the TheraPlay Box is actually helping my child?
Each box includes parent reflection prompts, gentle cues to help you notice small wins and track your child's progress month to month. The guided activity plan also links each activity to meaningful everyday skills like dressing, writing, or emotional regulation, so you can see the connection between play and real life progress.
What kinds of skills does MyTheraPlayBox support?
Our resources focus on fine motor development, hand strength, visual perception, prewriting and pencil control, sensory regulation, and emotional regulation. These are foundational skills that underpin everyday tasks like getting dressed, eating independently, holding a pencil, managing transitions, and participating in school activities.
Can MyTheraPlayBox replace occupational therapy?
No, and it is not designed to.
MyTheraPlayBox is designed to complement your child's existing therapy by giving you practical tools and guidance to support skill development in between sessions. Think of it as a way to extend the work your OT is already doing into your home and daily routine. If your child does not yet have an OT, our resources can also be a helpful starting point while you are on a waitlist or exploring support options.
Is MyTheraPlayBox suitable if my child does not have a diagnosis?
Yes. While our resources are designed with neurodiverse children in mind, you do not need a diagnosis to benefit from them. Many families use MyTheraPlayBox simply because their child is struggling with fine motor skills, sensory sensitivities, or emotional regulation, and they want practical, expert backed support at home.
Can I use NDIS funding for MyTheraPlayBox?
MyTheraPlayBox resources are not NDIS funded. Our boxes and digital guides are educational and therapy inspired tools created by occupational therapists to support skill development at home, they are not classified as therapy and are not eligible for NDIS claims. All purchases are made out of pocket at checkout. We have designed our resources to be as accessible as possible for families who are funding support themselves.
Can I Customise the Products in the MyTheraPlayBox?
At this time, we do not offer customizations for individual boxes. However, we work hard to curate each box with a variety of products that support different needs and interests.
Can I gift MyTheraPlayBox to someone?
Absolutely! My TheraPlayBox makes a great gift for parents and caregivers of children with special needs. You can purchase a gift box on our website and we will handle the rest.
How Much is Shipping?
Shipping anywhere in Australia is just $12.95.
