Welcome to Lovevery's Disability Support Service

Lovevery’s mission is to give families a support system for child development with expert-designed play essentials and resources. Our evidence and research-backed approach encourages cognitive, social-emotional, fine motor, gross motor, communication, and practical life skills—all through the joy of play.

We know Lovevery play essentials aren't just for children developing according to a typical schedule—they’ve been used by families, therapists, and educators to help children learn, grow, and play exactly where they’re at.

How the Disability Support Service Works

Who can use the Disability Support Service?

If you have a child with a learning exceptionality or a disability, this service is for you. Educators and therapists are welcome to speak with our specialist, too.

What will the Lovevery Disability Support Specialist do?

The Lovevery Disability Support Specialist will work one-on-one with each family to learn about their developmental, play, and learning goals for their child, with the objective of making customized recommendations for Lovevery offerings.

What kind of expertise can I expect?

Our Disability Support Service is guided by Lovevery’s Disability Expert Council, which draws on a wide range of clinical experience, lived expertise, and advocacy work.

Currently, Lovevery’s Play Kits follow a traditional developmental trajectory; however, as we follow current developmental research, we recognize that each child has their own unique timeline. In recognition of such developmental diversity, we’ve launched a Disability Support Service to help more families understand how Lovevery play essentials can meet their children’s individual interests and abilities.

Our Disability Support Service connects you with experts who understand child development—and who know Lovevery’s offerings inside out. By providing inclusive personalized guidance, we can help you choose Play Kits, Playthings, books, and caregiver learning resources that will best support your child.
