For Raffi Rembrand, necessity was definitely the mother of his invention. An Israeli engineer and father to a son with autism, Rembrand was well aware of the difficulties of raising a child with severe autism.

He had devoured all the information about the well established treatment of deep pressure touch to produce a calming effect in agitated individuals with autism.
