Today we feature a product making a big difference in the lives of children with autism.

It's called the "Big Hug" and it's made by a company in the Milwaukee area.

The Big Hug is made up of five individual, adjustable body wraps.... which apply pressure to different parts of the body.

It's ergonomically designed to calmly re-organize the energy of people with autism., using deep pressure therapy.

It's been found to be effective because it allows the care-giver to apply different amounts of pressure to different parts of the body.

For more information on the big hug, including pricing.... head to our web-channel, nbc15 dot com.
