You’re Not Alone—And You Can Trust That We Understand
As a mother of neurodivergent children and a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate the world of sensory challenges. You want the best for your child, but finding solutions that truly help can be difficult. That’s why we created Abby & Noah Co.—to provide parents with research-backed, thoughtfully designed sensory products that support self-regulation, comfort, and emotional well-being.
The Sensory Nervous System & Neurodivergence: Why Sensory Support Matters
The sensory nervous system plays a crucial role in how we experience and respond to the world. For neurodivergent individuals, sensory input can be too intense (hypersensitive) or too weak (hyposensitive)—leading to challenges in self-regulation, attention, and daily functioning.
Common sensory challenges include:
✔ Overreacting to sounds, textures, or lights
✔ Seeking out deep pressure or movement for comfort
✔ Difficulty processing multiple stimuli at once
✔ Struggling with transitions or unexpected changes
Research has shown that sensory regulation is key to emotional and behavioral well-being, which is why effective sensory tools can significantly improve quality of life.
Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS):
Compression garments and weighted products provide calming input by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing anxiety and meltdowns.
Proprioceptive Input:
Engaging the muscles and joints through swinging, stretching, or squeezing can improve focus and self-regulation.
Creating Predictable Sensory Environments:
Having tools that offer consistent, safe sensory input helps children feel more in control of their emotions and responses.
