Welcome to SensoryCritters.com, take off your shoes, run your toes through the carpet, sit back and take a deep breath and relax.

This site has been developed to help relieve stress not bring it on. Before you take the plunge into this deep site and get lost for a while - even if it is during your child's nap (15 minutes - no problem!) take just a minute or two and let us introduce our selves to you.  

Parents, Care takers and Siblings, Thank you for all you do - you are truly an inspiration for Bob and myself. We have healthy children, we feel very blessed as they are of age and two out of three are married and we have grandchildren who are all healthy.

When we thought about starting a new business - we decided that it would never be a Corporate type again - creating SensoryCritters.com has truly been a blessing for both of us.

We are excited each and every morning to wake up and find a new way to create a better lap pad or blanket for your child who has needs that aren't like everyone else's and the more people we meet the more we want to do create better ways to produce products your child needs.

This started when my niece invited me to attend the 7th Family Cafe' Conference and the Governor's Disabilities Summit in Orlando Florida June 2-4, 2005. I made my reservations and flew down to be with my niece and nephew during the conference in case she or he needed me. As the events unfolded the feeling I received in my heart and my brain when I went to the workshops - was out of this world and I have to tell you - that God has made this all possible by believing in him and having faith and praying and not just "wanting things" but really seeking our needs out and what we are hungry for and not in food - but spiritually.

I really feel that after having Fibromyalgia for 16 years and Chronic Fatigue and the other issues that they want to tell me about - all became totally in perspective when I went to that Conference in Orlando and met each and every person and family.

SensoryCritters.com has become a calling for both Bob and I and we don't claim to be the know it all or even at medium knowledge because with every book we read and every site we check out there are 100 more of each topic to read and seek out through the library and Internet. It is utterly amazing that there are so many perspectives on Autism thus the Autism Spectrum Disorder - it is kind of like Fibromyalgia - they know this and that - but really do they know anything? Do they know why it became "activated" or went "dormant" or why this medicine works on some patients but others it turns them to deep depression? I guess in this odd sense of my history and the history my husband has traveled with me ....  

WE understand where you stand with Autism/ASD/ Asperger's or PDD or is it ADHD or is it ? - the only thing that really matters is that you have a child or children with one of the diagnosis and they are your child or your sibling or you are their care giver that loves them and nourishes them daily with all of your strength and energy and if you can find comfort for them then you can find comfort for you.

Because our first conference was in Florida in 2005 we have dedicated to really reaching out to all Floridians. We chose our company logo to be the Florida Gator laying back chilling in the Sun taking a break and just relaxing. Which is what we hope you can do when you visit SensoryCritters.com.
