M1 Bank is elated to be a host of The Synapsory in their new event space.
Synapsory has donated over 500 Calming Kits to over 20 Police Departments in Missouri and Tennessee. The kits help with sensory regulation in the community for children with specific needs. Synapsory has partnered with The Little Bit Foundation to distribute 65 Calming Kits to promote sensory regulation in the classroom. Children are more likely to engage and focus when their sensory needs are met. Synapsory and The Little Bit Foundation believe in empowering all types of learners.
Faith inspires us to imagine a world where everyone feels safe and understood. Faith motivates us to help families of disabled children by showing them love and support. Faith is our daughter, who has cerebral palsy and autism.
Years ago, we were parents desperate for moments of peace in our day-to-day lives. Faith’s sensitivities to light and sound kept us from feeling comfortable in public. We always found comfort in church, but attending was next to impossible for her and stressful for everyone else. We needed help, and we knew other families probably did too.
It took us years, but we eventually developed the idea for a sensory room that would not only be a safe haven for children with developmental disabilities, but also give their families a break from the stress of being always on. Terrie became an expert, diving into the research and speaking with experts from around the country was just the beginning. We built the first room in our own community church and made it accessible to anyone who needed it. The kids made friends, their parents got relief, and everyone went home feeling better than when they came in
