Why I built MyTheraPlayBox

After more than ten years as a paediatric occupational therapist, I noticed something consistent in our clinic. The toys and resources that actually worked were almost impossible for parents to find.

Parents would finish a session and ask where they could get that. The honest answer was: not easily. They were scattered across suppliers, hard to find, and even harder to use without guidance.

That frustration led me to build the resource library I wish had existed. MyTheraPlayBox is the clinical knowledge I share in a consultation, written for parents who want to respond with confidence at home.

The digital guides came first. The monthly box is coming next.

Who is it for?

MyTheraPlayBox is designed for families supporting children aged 4 to 8 with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, or developmental delays. It is also used by families on long waitlists, those in regional areas with limited access to paediatric OT services, and parents who simply want more than what a once a fortnight session can provide.


You do not need a diagnosis to benefit. You just need a child who is finding some parts of life harder than they should be, and a parent who wants to help.

MyTheraPlayBox does not replace occupational therapy. It is designed to complement it, extending the work of your child's OT into your home and daily routine. If your child needs a formal OT assessment or therapy program, the team at EquipKids would be glad to help.

About The Founder

Sabina Stancescu is a Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist with over ten years of clinical experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and developmental delays. She holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from Auckland University of Technology and is the founder of EquipKids, paediatric OT clinic based in Melbourne, MyTheraPlayBox, and SensoryKidsPlay.

Her clinical focus is on the foundational skills that underpin everyday life such as fine motor development, sensory regulation, emotional regulation, self-care independence, and school readiness. She works closely with families because she knows that the progress children make in a clinic room only sticks when parents feel confident and equipped at home.

As a mother of two, Sabina understands firsthand the weight of wanting to do everything possible for your child and the frustration of not always knowing what that looks like in practice. That lived experience, sitting alongside more than a decade of clinical work with families, is what MyTheraPlayBox grew from.
