“For children with special needs and their families, we bring peace and connection to the everyday, through therapeutic play. The synapsory provides rest, regulation, and renewal for special needs families through innovative products for the home, church, and community.”

“The synapsory donated 173 calming kits to various organizations in the greater st. Louis area. The largest donation of calming kits went to the special school district in st. Louis. Each calming kit provides a number of items that helps to promote sensory regulation and calm.”

“The synapsory installed a sensory/motor room at gateway stem high school in the city of st. Louis. Gateway stem had a large gymnasium that was converted to a state-of-the-art sensory/motor room to benefit all of the students, and especially the special needs children at the school. We assisted by coming up with the overall design for the room; gaining the approval of decision makers at the school; getting quotes from various vendors; pursuing grants and other fundraising, coordinating the delivery and installation of the equipment, etc.. We also provided training to the workers so they felt confident with how to get the best possible use out of the equipment. The staff has already reported that this room is providing sensory regulation and calm for the kids. It has already helped them to become more productive students. The synapsory partnered with make-a-wish foundation to fulfill the wish of a special needs child in topeka kansas. The family of this child wanted to install a sensory/motor room in their home. They did not have the funding or expertise to get this done. After a number of meetings with the family to better understand the child and his needs, we created a room design completely tailored to his needs. We then ordered the equipment; coordinated the delivery and installation of the equipment. This room will provide this special needs child with a private sanctuary where his sensory needs can be met.”
