Every brain processes the world differently. The Neurodiversity Bundle was created to help explore the unique ways people think, feel, focus, regulate, and navigate the world around them. In Sandtray therapy, these symbols allow clients to represent both the strengths and challenges that can come with neurodivergent experiences. This bundle was thoughtfully designed to support conversations around identity, masking, sensory regulation, motivation, and the non-linear paths many neurodivergent individuals walk. Each miniature offers a visual language for expressing experiences that can sometimes be difficult to put into words.
