About Me

I'm Carolyn Duncan and I run a small business called The Sensory Room Girl. I provide assistance in designing sensory rooms, calm down kits, and sensory-friendly bedrooms for people with autism, asperger's, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and others. I have an autism spectrum disorder and therefore have special insight into the needs of others with similar neurological differences. I operate in Barrie and all the surounding areas, from York Region to Muskoka. If you are wondering if I will come to your area, just send me an email and ask! My hope with this blog is to provide reviews of sensory tools I've tried, discussions on books I've read, and even some sensory-friendly ideas. I hope you enjoy it!

On-the-go Sensory Kits

This is an on-the-go sensory kit. It is useful for when one must go somewhere overnight or just to bring along on an average day out. This particular one was designed by me for an adult and includes sensory items, comfort items, and distraction items. The individual's needs, likes, and preferences were taken into account when building the kit so as to encourage the kit's use and increase its effectiveness.


I recommend sensory kits to most of my clients, young and old alike. The items in a sensory kit must be personalized to the individual using it for the kit to be useful. These kits can help ward off panic attacks or tantrums in many individuals. The items can be used to calm the individual or to ward off boredom. Sensory kits can vary widely in size and items included, so anyone can benefit from having one!
