SensoryEdge - Helping Children Learn Through Play
When we had our first child, we had no idea what kind of toys we should purchase. We bought toys that we thought were cute or items that had the latest cartoon character on them.When our son was two years old, we learned he had a speech disorder, sensory integration issues, and was on the autism spectrum.
As he began therapies to help overcome his challenges, we discovered how truly important it is to have the right tools for success.During those first few years, we spent more time in therapy clinics than at home. It was a difficult period of our lives, but it taught us so much about our son and how to help him gain the skills he needed to be successful.
One thing we noticed was that many of the products his therapists used would benefit all children.We also found we could only purchase many of these products in overpriced catalogs. We wanted to change that for our family and for all the families out there facing similar issues with their children.
These experiences gave us a unique perspective and made us look at things a little differently than most business owners. When we look for products to sell, we select items that are not only fun but also functional.
Do they increase important skills like fine motor, gross motor, and cooperative play? Do they have a teaching element like the alphabet or numbers? We understand the importance of providing parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists with the right tools to help children play, learn, and stay focused.
With this in mind SensoryEdge was born. We started with therapy products and soon expanded to include items that helped kids in every area of their lives. Our children spent a great deal of time at school, indoor play areas, and out in the community. Watching them in these environments made us realize how important it is to create kid friendly spaces.
As a result of this insight we added lots of kid furniture, educational rugs, play cubes and other items that fit in homes, schools, clinics, hospitals, health centers and lobbies everywhere.
Since 2003, SensoryEdge has been offering waiting area toys, classroom rugs, educational toys and kids furniture to schools, doctor's offices, hospitals, at home, WICS, the Military and businesses throughout the United States. Our focus is giving customers the items they want and the service they need to keep children busy and learning.
Thank for Considering SensoryEdge,
