About the solution
Abbie Boudreau wondered why her son was always ripping off his socks when he was a baby. Then it hit her! He was trying to play with his toes! This is a type of play that activates and stimulates a child's senses, which is beneficial in several ways for children with autism in sensory activities is beneficial in several ways as it can help with stimulating the brain, creating neural pathways and improving sensory processing systems.
This was the necessary push for Abbie to come up with Sockabu , a sensory-friendly socks that offer the very best traction for kids of all ages!
With an easy ‘flip’ function, Sockabu allows the little ones to cover their toes for warmth and comfort during nap time or uncover them for the best natural traction while learning to walk or when on the go during playtime. An as children enter the crawling and walking stages, the same design that once allowed for easy access to his toes, now provides the very best traction for helping their feet grip the ground during playtime to prevent slipping. These socks are also hand-finished with a supreme cotton blend, designed for the ultimate quality and comfort, and are truly seamless socks which is ideal for children with sensory processing challenges.
