The owner of this home-based business is a licensed clinical social worker, whom I met at a recent fundraiser for JJ's List. Her toys and products for children, which she customizes with children's own names, include many items that would be of special interest to parents and grandparents of children with special needs. Many of the items she sells are educational. Some promote and enhance structure and organization during playtime and when it's time to do "chores" at home. Others promote and support independence, fine motor skills or social skills. She sells books, sensory toys and lots of other things that kids with all kinds of abilities and needs would enjoy.

The owner is very engaging, and seems more than happy to help buyers find products that will be meaningful for the children in their lives. With her therapeutic background, she would probably be a great resource for parents planning a party for their child with special needs, since she also does customized party favors. She can be reached at 847-668-4295 or at shop@littlepiggiesandmore.com
