The other day when "N's" occupational therapist was over I had mentioned of switching things up a bit. He told me to keep doing things as I was doing them. Don't change a thing was how he put it. He said that my service was different and that I was needed. That made me feel terrific since... it was my birthday!
So how exactly are my lap pads and blankets "different" from the majority or retailers? Well, this is how.
1. I UNDERSTAND: I have 2 children with Autism and each have sensory processing disorders. They vary on the Spectrum. I have one that before would have been diagnosed as Aspergers and now he is just considered high functioning. I have one that has been diagnosed as Classic Autism. He is the middle of the road PDD-NOS. He has excelled since his diagnosis and receiving therapies from different companies. Lots of work, lap pads and blankets.
2. I CARE ABOUT THAT SPECIAL KID: When you contact me, I go over everything with you. I want to know his physical characteristics. I want to know which colors he is attracted to and what things draw him or her. I want that child to fall in love with what I make for them. I go above and beyond looking for whatever piques their interest... or "obsession".
3. I LOVE QUALITY: And so should you! That is why I make products that can be washed and hopefully last for quite awhile. I understand that your child may use this product to wipe her face on. I understand that your child may love to play with his spit. I understand that your child might be in the long term progress of potty training. I understand that their weighted items probably may need to be washed on an everyday basis.
4. I AM BUDGET-MINDED: Money is tight! I know I am not the only one. I think it's a crying shame that these products are so expensive. It has made me mad even because I see how they have benefitted my child and I want other children to feel that sense of comfort and relief from the weight. I try to make my lap pads and blankets as affordable as possible. The basic blanket and lap pad are priced to compete. I offer extras, but I want everyone to be able to afford the basic. I search to find bargains and pass them onto my customers. I'm not in this business to get rich. This is a heart and soul project.
THIS is how Ciao Ciao Brown Cow is different.
THIS is why Ciao Ciao Brown Cow is so thankful when parents, grandparents, care providers, SPED teachers put their trust in me to make that special something for their someone special.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
