During a pandemic, where masks are required, it can make getting out of the house even harder than it already is for a person with autism, so Easterseals Southern California has partnered with socially conscious lifestyle brand Rafi Nova, pioneer of the clear Smile Face Mask, to develop a Sensory-Friendly Mask!
HERE, this mask costs $14 for children and $16 for adults, and comes in several colors: light blue, light pink, hunter green and black, with an extra “over the moon” pattern for children.
Does your child …
