(CNN) Parents are rejoicing over the new line of shoes Vans has released that are designed specifically with autism spectrum disorder in mind. The new footwear collection features sensory-inclusive elements such as a calming color palette and features that focus on the senses of touch, sight and sound, the company announced Wednesday. "Since 1966, Vans has stood as a champion of individuality and self-expression," reads their press release. Connie LaBouff told CNN she was almost brought to tears when she saw the collection. Her son Logan, 8, was diagnosed on the autism spectrum when he was 3.
