getting my oldest daughter dressed in our house is usually a battle. she's sensitive to most of her clothes and usually refuses to wear her socks or anything tight waisted or sleeved..and the list goes on. so when i found out about one of our newest sponsors - sensory store canada, i thought "hey, that's just what i need". many children are extra-sensitive to the texture and feel of clothing and after reading how sensory store canada helps all kids, "including those with autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and tactile defensiveness/sensitivity" by using "flat seaming and seamless construction for extra comfort, 100% of the softest combed cotton and specially developed soft sensory blends , wide collars, encased elastic waistbands, printed labels (tagless), custom fits, and much more" while still being stylish i knew you would all love a giveaway!
just because your child has sensory sensitivities does not mean they have to sacrifice their style or self expression. sensory store has skirts, pants, jeans, dresses - even seamless socks (i want a pair of those for myself...i hate wearing socks)! the colors are fun and the styles are modern. no boring plain clothes here. dress them up or down, but most of all feel good knowing your kids are feeling good in their clothes.
sensory store canada is run by the lovely lori, who is a very busy mom of 3 whose oldest suffers from autism. when lori was trying to find clothing for him she ran across Soft® in the states. she then saw the gap in the market in canada and decided that someone should bring this line of clothing here. that person was lori. she also runs another business called "apples to oranges consulting - special diets for special kids" where she helps helps other parents transition their child to the gluten free & casein free diet offering practical solutions for today's busy family.
so what's lori offering all of us in need of some super soft and super comfy clothing for our cuddly kiddos?
