[{"order": 1, "question": "Can my child try sensory products in‑store before we buy?", "answer": "Yes. Our Albany showroom on Chester Pass Road is designed as a calm, neuroaffirming space where you can look, touch, and test items like chewables, fidgets, liquid timers, calm‑down bottles, and plush comfort toys. We’re open Fridays 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (closed Sun–Thu). If you have specific sensory needs, you’re welcome to message us ahead so we can prepare options."}, {"order": 2, "question": "I’m choosing supports for Autism/ADHD—can you help me work out what will actually help?", "answer": "Yes. The Happy Giraffe is a neurodivergent, Western Australian family business, and Claire brings lived experience plus product knowledge to guide you through options—without pressure or jargon. We’ll ask about preferences (textures, oral‑motor needs, movement) and recommend age‑appropriate, safe items. We’re happy to collaborate with your therapist or teacher if you have an existing plan."}, {"order": 3, "question": "I live outside Albany. Can I still buy from you?", "answer": "Absolutely. You can browse and purchase via our website (thehappygiraffe.com.au). We regularly support families across regional WA and the Great Southern. If you need advice before ordering, message us and we’ll help you choose products with the right size, strength, and sensory profile. For current delivery options and timeframes, please check the checkout or get in touch."}, {"order": 4, "question": "Are your sensory products safe and durable?", "answer": "We curate trusted brands and list materials, age guidance, and care instructions for each product—for example, ARK chewables, Jellystone Designs calm‑down bottles, and Kaiko fidgets. Always select the appropriate chew strength and supervise use, especially for younger children. If you’d like to compare durability or textures, visit the shop to handle items in person."}, {"order": 5, "question": "What makes The Happy Giraffe different from big retailers?", "answer": "Local relevance and specialist focus. We’re based in Albany and have been serving the community since 2022, with 5‑star customer reviews praising our knowledgeable, personalised support. Unlike general toy aisles, our range is carefully selected for Autism, ADHD, sensory processing, and anxiety needs—and you can test many items in store or get advice online."}]
