I didn't realise socks were an issue!

I didn’t realise that socks were that important, or even an issue for our Chloe.  She didn’t complain very often.  She was just overloaded and crying by the end of most days, and she avoided socks and shoes in general.

Over the years I’ve heard from many Occupational Therapists that it's rarely just one thing that causes overwhelm and dis-regulation, but rather the cumulative affect of many irritants or missed opportunities to reset or regulate the sensory system during the day.

One day I thought to actually try some of our soft, seamless Sensory Socks on Chloe... and they instantly became one of my little secret weapons!

They don’t seem like a big deal, but they make such a HUGE difference to her day.  Giving her relief, with one less annoying thing that her brain cannot filter out. 

Why are these socks a game changer?  

They are made mainly from bamboo (keeping feet cooler in summer and warmer in winter) so stay gorgeously soft and are knit like a cocoon starting from the toe and working up, providing comfort and relief. ❤

They have a seamless feel and no heel… allowing her to put on her socks with confidence (and not outgrow them so quickly!) 

For my fellow special needs parents out there... only you will understand how important the little wins are, like your child putting their own socks on... and how many years behind their peers they can be for simple tasks like this! 

It turns out that my Chloe isn't great a verbally communicating how things feel or what she needs... it turns out that she can’t stand annoying seams, rough corners or thick and scratchy socks!  

If your Little Super Hero is a bit like mine... maybe they have hypersensitivity or sensory processing disorder too... then it might be worth giving Sensory Socks a go!
