The collection includes twelve objects made from various types of materials that are made to produce different tactile sensations when they are touched by children.

Such objects are to be used during therapy sessions, which includes the stimulation of touch and texture which soothes anxiety and helps with focus.

The designer separated the objects into three levels, the firs is for  children who are particularly sensitive, the second is for those who are more developed and are able to manage stronger tactile simulations and the last is used for children who have anxiety and panic attacks.
