A Kind of Spark (2022), by Elle McNicoll

Perfect for readers of Song for a Whale and Counting by 7s, a neurodivergent girl campaigns for a memorial when she learns that her small Scottish town used to burn witches simply because they were different.

"A must-read for students and adults alike." -School Library Journal, Starred Review

Ever since Ms. Murphy told us about the witch trials that happened centuries ago right here in Juniper, I can’t stop thinking about them. Those people weren’t magic. They were like me. Different like me.

I’m autistic. I see things that others do not. I hear sounds that they can ignore. And sometimes I feel things all at once. I think about the witches, with no one to speak for them. Not everyone in our small town understands. But if I keep trying, maybe someone will. I won’t let the witches be forgotten. Because there is more to their story. Just like there is more to mine.

Award-winning and neurodivergent author Elle McNicoll delivers an insightful and stirring debut about the European witch trials and a girl who refuses to relent in the fight for what she knows is right.

Because sensory needs don't stop in childhood!

The Sound Reducing Sensory Hoodie was created to help manage sensory overload in noisy environments for those that don't have their headphones accessible or can't tolerate them. We know that noise cancelling headphones are often forgotten, lost, or annoying to carry around. This hoodie offers a alternative, subtle solution. It aims to take the edge off of the overstimulating noise enabling the wearer to better tolerate noisy environments and prevent sensory overload.

With a few key updates (not in the grey color!):

• Pockets
• Thumbholes
• New, soft fleece fabric

This hoodie has an eye mask (can be pulled down or folded up) and a sound-reducing hood (with a slight weighted feel).

The specialized material in the hood blocks 10-30 decibels of sound depending on frequency. It is most effective at blocking high frequency noises. 

Also featuring magnetic closures and faux drawstring hood.

Great care was taken in designing these Sensory Friendly Fidget Joggers with the utmost attention to detail. Informed by individual stories, interviews with autistic adults, educators, and parents, these joggers feature design elements that prioritize comfort and convenience. The pockets are stitched down to ensure the pocket bag doesn't bunch up or move around, keeping the inside of the pants completely flat. 

The waistband is wide and soft, avoiding any digging or irritation. The addition of side pockets was inspired by the feedback from kids and adults who like to carry comfort items or fidgets with them. These spacious pockets are perfect for collecting rocks, carrying favorite toys, or storing personal items. The magnetic closures on the pockets, inspired by sensory hoodies, serve as a built-in fidget, helping to increase focus and attention while providing a sense of security and comfort.

They feature magnetic closures on the side pockets that double as a built-in fidget. 

These joggers are complete with no tags, flat seams, 4 large stitched down pockets, and soft elastic waistband with a drawstring for a comfortable, perfect fit.

Advanced Parenting: Advice for Helping Kids Through Diagnoses, Differences, and Mental Health Challenges (2023), by Kelly Fradin

“An invaluable resource for parents and caregivers,” this important, empathetic guidebook offers practical steps for managing children's health (Emily Oster, PhD,  New York Times bestselling author of Cribsheet and Expecting Better).

Any parent who has ever walked out of a concerning appointment with their child's doctor or teacher has experienced a heady mix of emotions--fear, love, confusion, concern, sadness, and perhaps even anger. While every parent hopes for a healthy child, the reality is that children face many common challenges, including medical issues like ADHD, asthma, food allergies, feeding issues, learning disabilities, anxiety and depression, and developmental delays, throughout their formative years. As the role of a parent becomes one of a caregiver, it can be overwhelming for parents and children alike, particularly if money, time, access, or any combination of those are in short supply. 

As a balm, Dr. Kelly Fradin offers Advanced Parenting, based on her experience as a complex-care pediatrician. In this crucial guide, parents will find empathy and support as well as evidence-based practical guidance. Of greatest import is the need for tools with which to manage the emotional stress that comes from having a child who deviates from the norm, as well as coping with uncertainty and navigating the business of care. Readers will discover ways to optimize the outcomes for their family and make their day-to-day life easier.

Advanced Parenting will help families from the beginning of their journey, helping parents to decide when a child needs help, accepting the implications of a challenge, obtaining a correct diagnosis, learning about the issue, building a treatment team and coming up with a comprehensive plan. Dr. Fradin explores how a child struggling can affect the entire family dynamic including the parent’s relationships and the siblings overall well-being, and with her experience as a complex care pediatrician, she will help parents avoid common mistakes. Parents will feel seen, supported, and better prepared to be both a parent and a caregiver.

Sizing

Tips for a Correct Fit:

For a good fit, measure each child according to the Sizing Guidelines; never select a size for your patient based on eye-balling the SPIO.

You should be able to place your hand between the child’s body (in the trunk area) and SPIO and feel significant resistance when you pull your hand away from the child’s body.

Approximately an inch of resistance is adequate. More and it’s too loose, less and it’s too tight.
