When to Wear:
The Sensory Friendly T-Shirt is perfect for the warmer months, but it's versatile enough to be layered with sweatshirts and jackets during the colder seasons. Its intended purpose, however, is to be an everyday, anytime t-shirt that works well for all occasions, making getting dressed in the morning easy, regardless of where the day takes your child.

Why is a Sensory Friendly T-Shirt Important?

For neurodiverse children, sensory issues can make clothing a source of intense discomfort and even pain. While many of us might occasionally feel annoyed by a clothing tag, for these children, it's far more than a minor irritation. The sensation of a tag can be excruciating, making it impossible to focus on anything else.

These kids aren't being difficult or picky about their clothing. They're experiencing genuine physical discomfort. Imagine trying to go about your day while wearing something that feels like a constant source of pain. This kind of discomfort can make even the simplest tasks, like going to school or learning, an unbearable challenge.

Seams can pose a similar problem. While many people don't even notice the seams in their clothing, neurodiverse individuals with heightened sensory sensitivities can feel every little imperfection. A slight seam rubbing against the skin with every movement or shift of the shirt can be incredibly distracting and even overstimulating.

The Sensory Friendly T-Shirt was designed with all these considerations in mind. Its tagless design and flat seams are specifically intended to eliminate discomfort for neurodiverse children, which allows them to be more comfortable and focused throughout the day. Whether it's for school, play, or any other occasion, the Sensory Friendly T-Shirt is there to make life a little easier and a lot more comfortable for neurodiverse children and their families.

About:
Hi! I am Julia DeNey, founder of Sense-ational You and I'd love to share the history of my company and why I am so passionate about it.

I founded Sense-ational You shortly graduating from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design in 2020. While at Cornell, I established and ran a volunteer partnership with a local autism preschool for my sorority and, from this passion, focused my fashion studies on the special needs of autistic children.

While developing the product and growing Sense-ational You, I worked as a special education para in autism classrooms for three years. During this time, I got to work hands-on with autistic children and the therapists and teachers who would be integrating the clothes into the school days and recommending these products to parents.

Recognizing the clothing market has long ignored the large group of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder, Sense-ational You aims to bring recognition and acceptance of this group into the fashion industry.

I use the influence fashion has to spread greater acceptance of neurodiversity. Adaptive fashion allows for conversation with other children about the needs of their peers. Everyone can enjoy a tag-free shirt or magnetic closure jacket, but some kids need to have them! By integrating sensory elements into our clothing, kids are never without the tools they rely on and are never isolated or picked on for the supports they need.

Our Mission is to increase the inclusion and academic success of autistic and sensory kids. We want to help all children feel safe, heard, and included everywhere they go through clothing that helps them regulate.

Our Vision is for sensory needs to be met and validated by providing tools that give children control of their surroundings.
