Sensory Kids® is inclusive, simple & fun because finding the right sensory solutions should be easy!The Sensory Kids® Store was born out of a desire to help parents of kids with developmental differences, and the educators, caregivers and medical professionals who support them, easily find what they need. We offer something for everyone because, while we know that individual needs may vary, everyone benefits from a healthy sensory diet! As a parent of children with a myriad of challenges, I know how challenging it can be... After years of scouring endless catalogs, medical & industrial websites—and ultimately relying heavily on our therapists, doctors, and educators to assist us in finding all of the products we required to support the unique needs of each of our children—I resolved to change the experience for fellow parents struggling with the same issues. Frankly, it's tough enough having a child with extra needs, why should it be hard to shop as well?We recognize that there are millions of redundant products on the market. We just don't think you should have to wade through them all to find "the best." That's why we've done the legwork for you. Our comprehensive, yet carefully chosen stock of developmental, therapeutic and sensory toys, tools, furniture, equipment, aids, and sensory clothing is available online and by private appointment at our showroom in Wilmette, IL (just north of Chicago). Sensory Kids® also provides global Sensory Solutions™ assisting schools, clinics, and medical institutions worldwide in the implementation of successful sensory strategies. We specialize in bringing our expertise and products to communities in need. We offer consulting, training, planning, and product procurement services to create the perfect sensory environment for your school, clinic or community.
