There are some kids and adults and just cannot handle having a mask on all day. Rafi Nova has teamed up with Easterseals to create the perfect mask for someone who may have sensory sensitivities, and Autism. These are great quality masks with a nice clip mechanism that connects behind on your head instead of wrapping around your ears. They come in an array of colors that you can choose from, and come in adults and kids sizes.
