Transitions can be a huge challenge for children. Children who struggle with transitions from can present with different behaviors:
- tantrums
- stubbornness
- refusal to attend or participate
- refusal to get on/off the school bus
- crying
- overwhelm with new people
- anxiety to try new things
One tool that I find myself recommending to parents is the Relax Pack. The Relax Pack is a regular functional backpack with a genius twist – It’s outfitted with different sensory tools to help provide calming input to children during transition times.
Here are some of the unique sensory features of the Relax Pack:
• The Hug Belt: A built-in neoprene compression belt that provides soothing deep pressure
• Fidget Strips: Interchangeable and removable sensory strips to fidget with
• D-rings for Chewies: Attach chewies to RelaxPack and never lose them again
Other functional features include:
• A headphone port
• Protective built-in tablet and phone sleeves
• Mesh pockets for water bottles and to store fidgets
• Clip to hold keys
• Built-in pouches and pockets to keep organized
RelaxPack was created by Aparna Guttery MA, OTR/L, a pediatric occupational therapist specialized in treating children with sensory processing disorders and special needs. I had the opportunity to meet her at the American Occupational Therapy Conference a few years ago.
Aparna recognized that there were no products on the market that combined functionality, convenient access, and effective calming support. Taking the utility of a backpack that children use daily and combining it with calming and soothing features, was how RelaxPack came to life!
Aparna’s designed the Relax Pack to help make everyday life smoother for children and their families.
The Relax Pack was created to support children with:
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Sensory Processing Disorder
• ADHD/ADD
• Emotional Disturbance
• Anxiety
…And all children in need of extra comfort

Cool
I am a three year old teacher in a public school. Last year I had two students who came to school for the first time that had been diagnosed with Autism, One student that was Diagnosed while in my classroom and a fourth that was tested for autism but was diagnosed with severe ADHD. My students are like a box of chocolates. I never know what I am going to the. I think that some of these packs would benefit many of my future students.
My school friends would sooo benefit from this.
This looks awesome!
Such a great idea!
I’m an OT and would love to have one to use with my students at school!
Awesome!
This backpack looks very interesting and may help children who need this calming help. I would like it for my grandson.
This looks like a great tool!
