How One Company Has Products For Kids of All Abilities
According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 54 children have been identified with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and 1 in 6 children are thought to have some sensory need. It can be difficult for parents of special needs children to find
products that will fit their child’s needs without scouring the web for hours
or visiting every store in the mall. Patti + Ricky, an eCommerce website specializing in inclusive and adaptive clothing, accessories, and toys offer a wide range of sensory-friendly gadgets such as Chewelry (chew-safe jewelry), art supplies, weight blankets, and lap pads, cozy cocoons as well as a wide variety of fidget toys ranging from calming playdough to marble mazes.
All people have different talents, strengths, challenges, and
moments when a little extra help can go a long way. The new online marketplace, Patti + Ricky was created by founder Alexandra Herold as a digital shopping destination dedicated to offering products from designers that cater to people of all abilities. They offer items for women, men, and kids that fulfill specific needs without sacrificing style and personal expression.
