A Hood That Will Make All The Difference
Blockbuster Hollywood movies can bring on the spotlight to lesser know disease and medical conditions. For example, After Rain Man we all knew what Autism was. That story told us how autistic people suffer from impaired social interaction and communication. In children the condition is heightened with sensory disorders and even minor noises can disturb them. A recent research suggests that stimulants like music, aromatherapy, and textured toys can help alleviate the condition. This where something like the Beagle scarf-hoodie can help.
This scarf includes speakers in the hood making it the perfect soothing wrap, around the child’s ears. Furthermore, customized aroma patches along with textured inner pockets can be integrated to the scarf. Coping with as autistic child can be trying at times and if something like the Beagle can bring the child some relief, then so be it.

Unfortuneately one of the most common “ailments / symptoms” of autism in children is manifested as an extreme aversion to thier heads or ears being touched, as well as being “confined” – so the hoodie scarf may be a poor choice. The idea of using music and textured fabric is a good one…. just not wrapped around the head
Nolan says
I thought that the problem was being contacted by others around sensory organs, not just anything touching them.

wow new model..
rich says
seems like a very poor ploy to make design that matters…but doesn’t do a very good job of addressing the issue at all
would be ok marketed to a younger audience i suppose…

Why make an (honestly) insane-looking scarf-hood that’s not going to do any autistic kid favors in a social situation? What need does this serve that couldn’t be met by a fancy hoodie or a vest?

My two children would love it. Honestly, for children, I think they are fun to wear, after all, they’re still children — they like playful things. I actually like it better that they’re not vest or hoodie because the size will be less an issue for my growing kids and plus, it would be a good add-on to their weighted vest. I also like how it integrates different sensory stimulations.
at least someone is trying to do something for those they’re often forgotten..

It’s interesting – is it for sale anywhere? how are the aromatherapy patches customized?? where is the music (in one of the pockets?

Are you kidding? My autistic sister would love this. She seems to like being wrapped up. I think it makes her feel safe. As long as it’s on her own terms and she can just snuggle up inside whenever, she would love it. She’s always curling up somewhere with her music on really loud, drowning out everything else. She would love it.
