Kozie Clothes, a manufacturer of sensory and adaptive clothing for children, is drawing attention to the role that thoughtfully designed apparel can play for families raising children with autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and sensory processing conditions. As awareness of sensory processing challenges continues to grow among parents, educators, and pediatric professionals, the company is working to educate caregivers about clothing options built specifically for children with unique sensory needs.
Compression provides proprioceptive input that may help the nervous system regulate arousal, emotional regulation, and support a calmer, more organized state via a constant even compression input through the skin, muscles and joints. This may help a child’s ability to focus at school and feel settled at home. Kozie Clothes addresses these concerns through a product line that includes compression shirts in long and short sleeve styles, compression pants and shorts, weighted vests, easy to remove tag garments. All design features intended to provide calming sensory input.
Founded in 2013 by Susan Donohoe, the company has developed a range of products organized around the everyday realities that families face. Compression shirts and weighted vests are designed to offer deep pressure input that some children find grounding, while seamless socks and easy to remove tag construction reduce the tactile irritation that can trigger sensory overload. The company also produces medical adaptive clothing intended to accommodate equipment and procedures, including garments made with G-tube access in mind.
Beyond its product catalog, Kozie Clothes places emphasis on direct communication with the parents and caregivers who use its clothing. Donohoe frequently consults with families one on one to help them identify products suited to a child's individual needs, drawing on years of experience in the sensory-friendly apparel field.
"Every child experiences sensory input differently, and there is rarely a single answer that works for everyone," said Susan Donohoe, founder of Kozie Clothes. "The goal is to introduce stylish, comfortable clothing that enhances positive therapeutic outcomes through clothing so a child can concentrate on learning and play by enhancing their self-regulation and calm.”
Donohoe added that education remains a central part of the company's approach. "Many parents come to this looking for guidance as much as for products," she said. "Taking the time to understand a family's situation and explain how features such as compression and the right fabrics actually work, helps caregivers make informed choices for their children."
The company reports that interest in sensory-friendly and adaptive clothing has expanded as more families seek practical support for children with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and related conditions. Kozie Clothes continues to develop garments and accessories, including weighted blankets and sensory items, to reflect the evolving needs of the children and caregivers it serves.
Kozie Clothes specializes in sensory and adaptive clothing for children with autism, ADHD, Anxiety, sensory processing conditions, and special medical needs. Founded in 2013 by Susan Donohoe, the company designs and manufactures sensory-friendly apparel, medical adaptive clothing, and related accessories, with a focus on functional design and personalized customer support for families.
