Aviva Weiss,OTR/L and Ilana Danneman,PT, the incredible forces behind Fun and Function design sensory toys and therapy equipment for special needs to help children learn adaptive responses for what they may lack or crave.
Tools for calming, deep compression, seamless tagless clothing, oral stimulation with their cool and safe chewies, empathy and self-expression with EQ games or gross motor skills with their foam scooters and inflatables, these women not only create the tools but will teach you how to use them and how they can make a difference in your child’s life
That’s just for starters. Understanding who’s on their design team gives a glimpse into this amazing resource. Hundreds of pediatric therapists, parents, and kids and a their own employees too ~ No kidding ~ they are out in the field every day, ask the questions, observe children’s needs and listen closely when they hear “If only there was…”
Aviva Weiss, President is a pediatric occupational therapist and a mom with five children. She speaks the language of proprioceptive input, vestibular movement, sensory integration, autism, and developmental delays – and she cares deeply if products are affordable, washable, well-made, and fun for kids.
Two women passionate about each child’s potential.
