Nearly 25 years ago, the Autism Society designated the month of April as Autism Awareness Month. What they began was a nationwide effort to promote autism awareness, inclusion and self-determination for all. Today, the prevalence of autism is 1 in every 88 American children.
SmartKnitKIDS works every day in manufacturing products that help children with sensory differences. Many children with autism also have these sensory issues and therefore, irritations like clothing seams can feel like big irritations to these kids. SmartKnitKIDS socks are seamless, leaving nothing to irritate sensitive feet and toes. The form-fitting design gives children’s feet a gentle “hug”, which provides closeness and gentle pressure that are soothing to children. SmartKnitKIDS uses this same technology and design in a host of other products for kids with sensory issues, including Big Kids Socks, Kids Undies, Compresso T, and Bralette.
SmartKnitKIDS believes in spreading awareness of the condition, as well as celebrating the amazing individuals that live with autism daily. To celebrate these great kiddos, we are offering one amazing deal on SmartKnitKIDS and Big Kids products. For any purchases made in the month of April that are at least $25*, SmartKnit will send you a Bugsley Bucks card in your order.
