What is sensory friendly design?

For some kids, dressing up and wearing clothing can be a challenge. An everyday task that most do not have a problem with, can be a cause of anxiety and stress to a sensitive child and their family. 

What is Sensory Sensitivity (Tactile/ Touch)

Our touch system provides information from our body and the immediate environment on light touch, pain, temperature and pressure. This sensory information can be heightened and hard to process for a tactile sensitive child. Seams, bumps, labels and the texture of the fabric can affect a sensitive child that others do not notice. 

Our Aim

The aim of the Kinde co sensory friendly collection is to provide families clothing options that minimises irritation and anxiety when dressing up their loved one. Through parent and child feedback, we believe that our simple yet considered sensory friendly integrations help kids to be more independent and carry on with their everyday with less worry.
