What are Brookie’s Boxes?
Brookie’s boxes are sensory boxes to help first responders connect with autistic children that are carried in rescue units (both police and fire). These boxes are filled with sensory and fidget toys, communication devices, and informational cards to help improve care and provide comfort. They are meant to facilitate good communication, help extract information from individuals with autism, and help calm them in emergencies.
