What Parents Are Saying
My baby boy was having a rough morning before school and I pulled out the your healing hula hoop. I showed him what mommy could do with the hula now and he lit up with the biggest smile. In addition he joined in and hula healed himself for that particular day.
Jameika L. Mom of 2 & Teacher
My family and I like to hula hoop together. We loved the book. Great message, creative, and very interactive. Definitely recommend!
Robyn S., Parent
 Before interacting with students, before even checking emails, it was me and my hula hoop. It's been fun sharing it with my students, showing my boss that I could do it, and actually being able to keep it up for 5 to 7 seconds. There's victory in that. There's power. There's freedom in that.
Asha, Parent & Teacher
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the hula hoop help children with autism?
The repetitive, circular motion of the hula hoop offers calming sensory input and helps children regulate their bodies and emotions. It provides proprioceptive feedback and a visual boundary for safe movement and emotional grounding.
​
What if my child doesn’t like hula hooping?
No problem! The toolkit offers over a dozen ways to use the hoop beyond spinning like breathing exercises, calm corners, and connection activities that don’t require hooping skills at all.
​
Can I use this if my child has multiple diagnoses?
Yes. The strategies in the Circle of Calm are adaptable for a wide range of sensory, emotional, and learning needs. Whether your child is autistic, visually impaired, or highly sensitive, these tools can be customized to support them.
​
What age group is this for?
The toolkit is designed for elementary-aged children (approx. 5–11), but many of the techniques work well for older or younger children too, depending on their needs.
​
Is this a replacement for therapy?
No. The Circle of Calm Toolkit is a supplemental, home-based resource that enhances the work you may be doing with therapists and professionals. Always consult your child’s healthcare team for personalized guidance.
​
Do I need any special training?
Not at all! This guide is written in plain language, with step-by-step instructions and helpful icons. If you can sit on the floor and take a deep breath, you can use these tools with your child. We recommend a lightly weighted hula hoop for best results. Check out our Build A Hoop kit for the perfect fit.
