SENSORYA is a clothes and accessories apparel designed for sensory therapy and is adressed to teens with autism and anxiety.
During the COVID-19 lockdown the anxiety level has increased significantly, especially for children and young people with autism spectre disorder. Clothes and accessories become the fastest and the easiest way to recieve the needed sensory experience.
People with sensory fatigue, including children with autism spectrum disorder, have specific dress requirements and restrictions. We have conducted surveys of family members with children and adolescents with ASD in the Sverdlovsk and Tomsk regions in Russia in January 2021. It was important for me to preserve the functionality of adaptive clothing, but at the same time to offer more flexible and practical solutions than other projects have; moreover, many details can be changed, which allows a person to adapt clothing to their specific needs.
Since April 2021, the project have been featured in different events:
Creative Business Cup Russia Finale (May 2021)
World Industrial Design Day session held by WDO (29th of June)
2nd place diploma in Sverdlovsk region competition for Master and PhD students Minuta Tehnoslavy (July 2021)
