Designed By You. For You.
Allowing children to have what they feel they need that day, even when they can’t otherwise express it.
This top and shorts considers the needs of children on the autism spectrum from closure systems to fidgets, and no annoying seam allowance.
While also appealing to neurotypical children for the fun ability to personalize your clothes each day!
The shirt is designed to be able to be buttoned with large buttons down the back, for parents that struggle with their kids with sensory disorders stripping off their clothes in public, or in the front for children to work on their fine motor skills in dressing.
Small swatches or fidgets were created in a variety of sizes, shapes, and fabrics and were manipulated with a variety of techniques to create unique surface texture. Velcro is on the back of each swatch so that it can stick anywhere onto the garment.
The prototype is made out of felt so that Velcro will adhere to it, however a fabric would be developed that would be less restrictive, but was still soft and allowed Velcro to stick when the shirt was manufactured.
