Complete Sensory–Regulation Toolkit for Young & Neurodivergent Learners

This professional toolkit provides everything teachers, parents, SENCOs, and therapists need to introduce the Colour Grounding Technique — a gentle, low-language strategy that helps children settle their bodies, shift attention safely, and reconnect with the environment.

Designed specifically for early years and neurodivergent learners, this toolkit removes verbal pressure and offers a predictable four-step sequence:

LOOK • POINT • NOTICE • BREATHE

Using soft watercolour visuals, clear modelling scripts, and trauma-informed practice guidance, this toolkit supports practitioners to embed colour grounding across the day — during transitions, sensory overload, emotional moments, and calm corner routines.

This is NOT just a poster.
It is a complete regulation system, with training and implementation support included.
