SQUEASE is a jacket designed for people with autism:
the jacket allows the wearer to apply deep pressure to their body, so that they can calm themselves and get over the sudden rush of anxiety. The integrated headphones reduce the sound level of high frequency noises like alarm bells or the sound of chairs scraping on a floor; soothing those with hypersensitive hearing. A comfortable cocoon for those with ASD, the SQUEASE is a smart looking jacket and not just therapy aid.Designed by Sheraz Arif, Andy Brand, Menno Kroezen and Katrien Ploegmakers.
