A few months ago I had a request from a mother for some mittens to fit her special needs adult son. After determining what kind of mitten would be best for him and custom making it, I realized that I would like to help more people who may not be able to find the perfect mitten/glove for their special needs child, regardless of their age.
It is with great honor that I present our newest mitten, it is made specifically for people with special needs. Those who may have challenges or disabilities can now keep their hands dry and protected from finger biting, chewing, scratching, etc. In addition we offer a special padding (not offered in our baby mittens) that can help lessen the blow from self-hitting.
The design stems from our baby mitten design and can be used as a starting point in each custom mitten. We can use any fabric necessary (to suit anyone who may have fabric aversions) to keep hands dry, warm, and protected. The mitten we made for our customer's son was a full waterproof-fabric exterior and we did the thin, moisture-wicking fabric inside since they were in a warmer climate. We also did the Velcro strap around the wrist below the elastic to ensure it did not come off.
To order your custom made mittens, check out our Etsy page here and click on "Request a Custom Order" below the picture. The price will vary on size and materials used, but it should not cost more than $12.95/pair.
