My son David was diagnosed with this disorder when he was 5.5 years old. That's when his adventure with eye patching began—one of the primary methods of therapy.

​

For a child with high sensitivity and intense sensory experiences, this was a huge challenge. Tight sleeves, itchy labels, stiff material, or a jacket that was too warm could cause discomfort and frustration. Not to mention wearing a patch over the eye for several hours—as much as 6–8 hours a day in the first phase of therapy.

​

Over the years, we tested various solutions—eye patches, eyeglass stickers—all to increase comfort and ease daily functioning. There were some truly challenging days, both for David and for us, his parents, who tried to support him through this process.

At some point I started wondering:
How can this be made easier?
How can you support your child, keep them interested and help them persevere in therapy until the patch is no longer needed?

It was from these questions that the idea for a unique magnetic board was born – a tool of support, motivation and small everyday successes.

I look back with a smile on the first hand-drawn prototype from May 2021.

I'm thrilled that this project has become a reality and can support many children and their families in their eye patching process. I already know that many families are using the board to motivate their children in many other daily tasks, such as brushing their teeth, reading a book daily, or making their bed.
I believe that creative ideas breed further creative solutions, which is why this board has enormous potential – to serve, empower, and bring relief.
