Welcome to The Giggle Garden
At The Giggle Garden, we create inclusive resources for pre-primary and primary school-aged children that honour the many ways they think, feel, learn and regulate.
We exist to make classrooms more inclusive, homes more supported, and communities more accessible for all kinds of minds. This begins by holding space for the adults in their lives who want to do better.
We translate the complex stuff — the research, the clinical language, the policies that affect real families — into resources that make sense. Whether you’re a parent who just received a diagnosis, an educator rethinking your classroom, or a therapist looking for affirming tools, this is your space.
From children’s books, printable learning tools, and classroom visuals to thoughtful gifting, everything we make is rooted in the same belief: different doesn’t mean less, and every child deserves to feel proud of who they are.
What We Do
The Giggle Garden helps adults better understand how children’s brains work, so kids can feel safe, capable and celebrated exactly as they are.
We create:
Picture books that celebrate different ways of thinking.
Learning tools for early childhood and therapies.
Fun play-based learning printables for early finishers, rainy days, and curious minds.
Thoughtful gift items for the incredible people in a child’s village, including cards, pens and gift card holders for educators, OTs, speech therapists, support workers and more.
Free guides and conversation tools to help families and workplaces embed neuro-affirming practice in everyday life.
Independent research reports that highlight the actual support families are receiving in Australia and where we can improve.
Everything we do is guided by the same mission: to make inclusive learning more accessible, to spark conversations, and to make 'normal' a washing machine setting, not a description of those around us.
We pack and ship every order by hand from our studio in Melbourne. We also keep our packaging minimal and mindful, so we can reduce waste wherever possible.
Our Values
Everything we create is shaped by a set of core beliefs. They guide the language we use, the resources we build and the conversations we have because how we talk about children's brains matters just as much as what we teach about them.
Neuro-Affirming
Neurological differences are natural human variation, not something to fix.
Accessible
Our content is affordable and easy to understand without oversimplifying important ideas.
Child-Centred
Children’s dignity and are always prioritised in our resources and content.
Community-Led
Our growth, content and resources are shaped by real conversations with families and professionals.
Evidence-Aware
We respect research and data, while acknowledging lived experience.
Curious & Evolving
We believe learning includes unlearning outdated ideas and always remaining open-minded.
HEY, I'M RACH!
I’ve spent years writing for other people in beauty, branding, and business, but when it came to navigating life as a parent in a neurodiverse household, I couldn’t find the language that felt right.
Not for what we were experiencing, not for the way I wanted to explain it to our families, and definitely not for the way I wanted to speak to my autistic child.
The resources we were given were helpful, sure, but they were clinical, surface-level, or focused on “fixing.” What I was really looking for was a space that recognised the REAL experience of having a neurodivergent child: the beauty, the mess, the nuance, the hard parts, and the extraordinary parts.
That’s how The Giggle Garden started to bloom.
Not as a project but as a response.
To parents trying to do their best.
To wanting difference celebrated, not sidelined.
To wanting tools for the world we live in, not just the one we’re told to fit into.
We’re building something that makes space for every kind of mind, and I'm so grateful you're here for the adventure.
