Military Uniforms for Calming

Searching for a way to soothe her son’s anxiety, a South Carolina mom found a solution with a little help from a sewing machine, a few used military uniforms and rolls of pennies.

Now, Crystal Lyons, whose son John was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at 2, is sharing her home-made weighted vests with the world, sewing them for any family in need for free through her charity, Vests for Visionaries. She hopes parents see the same kinds of results she sees when her little boy dons a vest.
