Quiet Calm, LLC. is owned and operated by Anne Delery McWhorter, a parent and advocate for people with invisible disabilities who has worked for several years with families and individuals in need of early intervention therapies, including those related to sensory processing issues.
As a volunteer with an advocacy agency during the Baton Rouge flood, Anne participated in daily calls led by the Louisiana Emergency Management Disability and Aging Coalition (EMDAC), and had an idea early on to distribute therapy materials to children and adults with sensory processing issues. Through EMDAC, she connected with the American Red Cross Disability Integration team to deliver sensory therapy kits and educate the team on their use. She also set up and managed sensory therapy rooms which became a help not only to Red Cross client families and individuals, but to shelter workers, as well.
“Our mission is to provide sensory solutions during times of need for individuals with sensory sensitive concerns.”
