BenifiSense is a jacket that aims to prepare adults with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) for environments where they may be prone to experience sensory overload.
It does this by catering for the senses in a discrete and non-disruptive way, allowing the user to interact with the jacket when and how they want, depending on their individual sensory needs.
