After School Decompression Kit

The After-School Decompression Kit is designed to support neurodivergent children and teens as they unwind after a long, demanding day. School environments can place heavy demands on sensory processing, emotional regulation, and social interaction, often leading to overwhelm once children return home. This kit provides a calm, predictable routine to help your child reset, self-regulate, and feel safe.

Each kit includes age-appropriate visual guides for your child, clear step-by-step support for parents, an insight sheet explaining why after-school overwhelm happens, and practical tools to encourage calm without pressure or punishment. Created from nearly 20 years of parenting neurodivergent children and almost 40 years of lived experience, this kit focuses on understanding, compassion, and real-life strategies that work.

✨ Please select your child’s age group before purchasing.
Each age range is carefully tailored to match developmental level, independence, and sensory needs.

Suitable for neurodivergent children and teens, including autism, ADHD, PDA profiles, and sensory processing differences.

I have set this item as a free download, but if you do wish to donate you can using the pay what you want feature ✨
