“Annelise when awake has non stop movement, in the Calming Clothing she can relax in a bean bag and watch an entire 90 minute movie. So yes, I believe your clothing has had an effect on my Rett girl.”

WHY CALMING CLOTHING?
Calming Clothing has been designed specifically for children with Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD), Autism and Rett syndrome. It is a therapeutic garment using Patented Technology.
Finding clothing for children with SPD can be a challenge. There are many factors that may cause discomfort including; itchy tags, harsh materials, and exposed seams.
Calming Clothing originated out of a mother’s experience. Research has shown that deep touch pressure has been used to calm children with autistic disorders.
When your child is wearing this clothing they will exhibit improved physical awareness and interpersonal communications.
The garments are designed to fit your child snuggly, though not tight. This will provide them with a feeling of security and body awareness, which in turn creates a calming effect.
Seams and tags are sewn to the outside
What are the benefits?
The clothes are therapeutic and designed using patented technology.
Made from easy-care premium quality combed cotton and Lycra blend, this specialized fabric applies firm (but not constricting) pressure to the wearer.

“My other family received their shirts, thank you. That was their second order, they have had wonderful success with the clothing. Their little fellow refuses to go to school without them on under his school uniform. [Teachers at] the school notice the difference in his behaviour when he isn’t wearing them!”
