It's about time someone came up with a discreet and, more importantly, cool way to get the pressure our kids seek. The T-Jacket offers wearable technology for our sensory-seekers and it doesn't make them stand out. This could be any other hoodie except for the fact that hidden within are sensors that can be controlled by your phone and provide discreet pressure when needed. If you're child is small, like mine, you can set it to follow a program that works for them. If the wearer is a little older they can set their own plan for comfort. This smart little jacket even tracks the wearer's progress. Simply genius.

Taken from the T-Jacket website see below a list of the many issues that our kids struggle with. Does this sound like your child? Does this sound like you? Honestly, I had to copy it here because it describes our girl perfectly and it describes many of my students as well.

We currently use compression shirts and have for almost 5 years. I love the idea of being able to adjust the pressure strength
