Alana’s Company – Baby Dill started with the idea of helping her then 6-month old daughter Parker, whose sensory needs were all over the place and her development delayed for her age. Having no luck with the available sensory products, Alana created her flagship product, The Pickle Sensory Pillow.
Now, 2 years later, Parker has a dual diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Delay. And she is thriving beyond her family’s wildest dreams and insists on taking 2-3 pickle pillows to bed every night!
Sensory toys can be extremely beneficial for children (and adults!) with sensory issues. Sensory toys help those with autism relax and focus. It helps to decrease fear and discomfort.
Alana loves that she is able to help others from all across Canada with her hand-made sensory products. She also loves the sense of community and support in St. Thomas, especially since starting her business.
