As you know it is National Autism Awareness Month and today I have an online store that is a MUST stop, for those with children and relatives with Autism, and other special needs!

But first let me tell you a little bit about the store, and how it came to be, as Alexandra is a true VentureGirl!!

It can be difficult for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to find support and products that help them care for their child’s unique needs on a day to day basis. You can’t just stop by Target on the way home from work to pick up the latest sensory toy or calming accessory (wouldn't that be SO nice?). Diagnosed with anxiety disorder, dyslexia and ADHD as a child, Alexandra Connell was always keenly aware of how disabilities and looking or acting differently could have a major impact on a person’s life. Teachers told her parents she would never progress or achieve, but her parents didn’t listen, and today Alexandra has launched her own business, an online retail shop of products to meet special needs and life circumstances. 

Inspired by her own abilities, her mom (who she lost to brain cancer), and her cousin Ricky (who was born unable to walk or speak), PATTI + RICKY offers products from a variety of companies, and designers, that help regulate the sensory system for a calming affect including weighted blankets, compression clothing, compression vests, fidgets and more. But there so much more than that- they are also stylish, modern and appealing! AND, if you've ever had an injury requiring crutches, wheelchair or other aid, you might realize some of her products could have been lifesavers for you too! With Mother's Day around the corner, you might even find something that MOM could use to make her life easier at the shop too!

Check out some of the amazing products:

FUN wheelchair bags, that provide easy access for the occupant, and some stylin flair!

Pom Pom Fidgets will delight kids young and old, with their fun and bright colors, and fun shape!

Padded crutch covers come in 13 bright and fun colors, and the crutch bag can hold glasses,keys, a small wallet, a phone and even a bottle of water, with ease, saving you from trying to wear a purse while using crutches!

Any little girl would ADORE these style ready Hearing Aid Retainers, or this fun swimsuit, which thanks to bottom snaps, makes it easy to use the restroom in a hurry!

Who new Rolaltor Walkers could be this fun? With Patti + Ricky's 28 (!!) designs, you can find just the thing to snaz up Mom (or Dad;s) ride!

So if anyone you know, or a relative, has a special need, be sure to tell them about Patti+ Ricky today!
