'Learning to learn', This phrase sounds simple, but it is less obvious for many people with autism. People with autism process information differently than people without autism, and this also must be done in an efficient way. In addition, generalizing skills is often difficult, details are often paid attention to, so that the big picture is lost sight of and people with autism can be distracted by stimuli that causes them to lose the overview. Nenko offers a range of specifically developed products for this target group. 

One-box tasks
One-box tasks are clear and practical tasks; clearly used to stimulate people with autism in various developmental areas in a fun & playful way. There is a clear beginning and end to every task. The One-Box tasks are suitable for different developmental ages. By offering several short tasks, it is easier to maintain concentration longer and thus achieve more results in terms of development. We also have tasks that function as a motivational task which can also be used as a reward for the effort made in tasks that require a little more concentration. 

Time Timers
"How much time do we have left?" It is a frequently asked question. Elapsed time is an abstract concept, difficult to understand and even more difficult to manage. But learning to deal with time is the first step towards independence for many. It is therefore important to understand the concept of elapsed time to learn to deal with time efficiently. 

Earmuffs
For someone with autism, all stimuli can quickly be experienced as too much. By using products such as earmuffs when this person is in a busy environment, one can quickly ensure that external stimuli is minimized. The earmuffs can then ensure that the person with autism can go somewhere more comfortably and with more certainty.

Understimulation is not always noticed by others. Understimulation seems less serious than overstimulation, but understimulation can also have very unpleasant consequences.

With understimulation, little or no stimuli are processed by the human brain. This can be distorted as it seems to the outside world that these autistic people feel comfort, but understimulated, autistic people often feel gloomy, don't feel like doing anything and have the feeling of missing something but don't know what themselves.

Some people who are understimulated actively look for stimuli themselves by rocking back and forth, making noises or banging their head against something.
