Celebrating Neurodiversity:

Our Favorite Products for an Inclusive World

In an increasingly diverse and inclusive world, there's a growing recognition of the unique needs

and talents of neurodivergent individuals. Whether you identify as neurodivergent yourself or

support someone who does, the right products can make a world of difference. In this blog,

we celebrate some of our favorite products that cater to neurodiversity, enhancing daily life

and fostering empowerment.



Noise Canceling Headphones

For many neurodivergent individuals, sensory sensitivities can be overwhelming.

Noise-canceling headphones provide a haven of tranquility, allowing you to filter out unwanted

sounds and focus on what's important. They're a must-have for anyone seeking solace in a noisy

world.


Loop Engage Plus Earplugs – Low-level Noise Reduction with Clear Speech –

for Conversation, Social Gatherings, Noise Sensitivity & Parenting

Loop Engage Plus earplugs are the result of extensive research & development, combining an innovative acoustic channel and a newly-engineered filter for more engaging conversations.

Like other Loop products, Loop Engage Plus qualify as Certified Hearing Protection.

Engage provides low-level protection, meaning they block out the excess sound without affecting

the things you need to hear (like your own voice).

They have a noise reduction rating (SNR) of 16 with an additional 5 dB available on demand with Loop Mute.


Fidget Toys

Fidget toys aren't just for kids; they're invaluable for individuals of all ages. From stress balls to textured fidget rings, these toys offer a healthy outlet for restlessness, anxiety, and the need for sensory stimulation.
