Boundary Bracelets

For many people with Down syndrome, expressing personal boundaries and understanding those of others can be challenging. This can lead to unwanted touches in both directions. But visual aids help people with Down syndrome communicate and learn more effectively. Inspired by Friendship Bracelets, we introduce Boundary Bracelets—a simple, customizable way to define personal boundaries. Together with a friend, family member, or partner, you create bracelets with matching beads that symbolize the types of physical touch you’re both comfortable with.
