Who We Are
Ever since my little brother was diagnosed with autism, I have been very aware of, and interested in, how different people are affected by their senses.

Now, with Sensory World, we can focus on sensory issues, which affect most people with autism, and many with ADD/ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, OCD, and even us “neurotypicals.”
