Supporting everyday life with practical, simple supports
Little Supports 3D was created from lived experience supporting a child with additional needs.
As a parent, I understand how challenging it can be to find supports that are simple, affordable, and actually work in real life.
That’s why we started creating our own practical 3D printed tools designed to support communication, emotional regulation, routines, and independence.
Designed with lived experience
Little Supports 3D is built on real understanding not just theory.
Every product comes from hands-on experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, sensory needs, and communication challenges.
This means our supports are practical, realistic, and designed to actually work in everyday life
Our Story
Little Supports 3D was founded by a Queensland mum and dad who understand first hand the challenges and triumphs that can come with supporting neurodivergent children and individuals with additional support needs.
As parents of children with autism and ADHD, we know how important communication, emotional regulation, routine, and independence can be in everyday life. We also know that finding practical, affordable supports that genuinely meet individual needs isn't always easy.
What began as creating simple visual and sensory supports for our own family quickly grew into something much bigger. We realised there were many families, carers, support workers, educators, therapists, and individuals searching for supports that were functional, affordable, durable, and designed for real-life use.
Using 3D printing technology, we began creating personalised communication tags, visual supports, sensory fidgets, and routine tools that help children, teenagers, and adults communicate their needs, navigate daily life, and build confidence and independence.
Our products are inspired by lived experience and backed by professional knowledge gained through years of working within the disability sector. Every communication tag, visual support, sensory tool, and Now • Next • Later Board is designed with practicality, accessibility, and everyday use in mind.
Whether it's helping someone communicate they need a break, supporting a child through daily routines, providing sensory regulation during overwhelming moments, or building independence through visual supports, our goal remains the same:
To create simple, practical supports that help people communicate, participate, and feel understood.
At Little Supports 3D, we're more than just a small business. We're a family creating supports for other families, because everyone deserves the opportunity to communicate, feel supported, and thrive.
