Explore NDIS approved toys and learning resources chosen to support sensory development, regulation, focus and everyday participation across home, therapy and early learning environments.

What makes a toy relevant for funded support?
The most useful toys are rarely the ones that simply look impressive in a product grid. They are the ones that support meaningful engagement in everyday life, whether that means sensory regulation, focus, confidence, movement, learning, practical routines or participation.
That is why this page is structured around outcomes and goals, not just product types. Families, carers and therapists often need resources that work naturally across home and support settings, rather than toys that feel disconnected from real daily use.

Are sensory toys covered by NDIS?
Sensory toys may be relevant where they support a participant’s development, regulation or therapy-related outcomes.

Can I claim toys for autism under NDIS?
If the toys or resources support your child’s goals and development, they may be relevant under your NDIS plan.

This depends on the child, but many families look for sensory toys that support tactile input, calm engagement, repeated movement, fine motor activity or more settled open-ended play.
