Parenting in a world that wasn't designed for your child can be heart breaking.
The world is growing more and more inclusive every day. There are products and services that can help you redesign your child's world to reflect their unique needs. From dressing to play, there are more accommodations than ever before.
Adaptive products
Like many great things in life, their company was born of the desire for change. They started Fun and Function because they couldn't find kid-friendly sensory tools that would fit their family’s needs. So they channeled our frustration and turned it into a passion for creating the best sensory toys and tools on the planet.
Southpaw continues to work closely with therapists and specialists from all over the country to provide you with the best Sensory Integration and Multi-Sensory Experience products for your child or parent. They are committed to keeping you informed regarding the latest industry trends as well as providing you with information that is timely and helpful.
TFH Special Needs Toys believes Play is Powerful when developing lifelong learning and living skills. Sometimes, there can be challenges to play so we provide carefully selected sensory-focused toys and equipment to help you overcome obstacles through play.
Adaptive Clothing
Central line vest
Gus Gear’s mission to improve the safety and quality of life for those facing medical challenges began more than a decade ago by its founder and CEO, Sarah Palya, in response to the ongoing medical journey of Gus, her son, who faced a myriad of medical challenges that left Sarah feeling overwhelmed and wanting to find a way for Gus to live a more “normal” life. Her biggest obstacle was protecting, securing, and taking care of his central line. Out of this challenge came their flagship product, the Central Line Vest.
Impact-Resistant Protective Sports Hat
The Crasche hat is ideal for children and adults who should wear a helmet or hard hat, but don’t. It is not designed to replace a helmet, but it is certainly a whole lot better than nothing on your head.
