Question 1

What is MyTheraPlayBox?

Accepted Answer

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: monthly therapy-inspired play boxes delivered to your door, and downloadable digital guides 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.

Question 2

What's in our subscription box?

Accepted Answer

Each MyTheraPlayBox contains therapist-selected sensory 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. Every box also includes adaptation tips to adjust activities to your child's sensory needs or ability level, and parent reflection prompts to help you notice progress and feel confident.

Question 3

What are the Digital Guides?

Accepted Answer

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, 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.

Question 4

What is the difference between the TheraPlay Box and the Digital Guides?

Accepted Answer

The TheraPlay Box is a monthly hands-on subscription — physical tools and activity plans delivered to your door every month, ideal for families who want consistent, structured support over time. The Digital Guides are instant-access downloadable resources focused on a specific challenge or topic, ideal when you need expert guidance right now without committing to a subscription. Many families use both.

Question 5

What age is MyTheraPlayBox designed for?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Who creates the MyTheraPlayBox resources?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How do I know if the TheraPlay Box is actually helping my child?

Accepted Answer

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. Many families notice changes within the first few weeks of consistent use.

Question 8

What kinds of skills does MyTheraPlayBox support?

Accepted Answer

Our resources focus on fine motor development, hand strength, visual perception, pre-writing 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.

Question 9

Can MyTheraPlayBox replace occupational therapy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is MyTheraPlayBox suitable if my child does not have a diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Can I cancel or pause my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can manage, pause, or cancel your TheraPlay Box subscription at any time through your account settings on the website, or by contacting our support team directly. We believe in flexibility — life with kids is unpredictable, and we want the subscription to work for your family, not add stress.

Question 12

Can I use NDIS funding for MyTheraPlayBox?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

Can I customise the products in the MyTheraPlayBox?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we do not offer customisations for individual boxes. However, we work hard to curate each box with a variety of products that support different needs and interests.

Question 14

Can I gift MyTheraPlayBox to someone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MyTheraPlayBox makes a great gift for parents and caregivers of children with special needs. You can purchase a gift subscription on our website and we will handle the rest.

Question 15
