Why Smart Sensory
Keren Makari’s journey began in 2020 after recognizing the limited access to sensory support services and tools in many communities. Seeing how this gap affected children and individuals with developmental needs, Keren was inspired to create meaningful change.
This led to the founding of Smart Sensory, an initiative focused on providing practical, high-quality sensory solutions that help children, families, educators, and therapists create supportive environments where individuals can grow and thrive.
