Parent Wishes for Dome of Silence

I asked for some creative ideas for special-needs tools we wish we had, and reader hope.rnch came up with one I'm ready to order, too, under the title "Public Dome":

"I need to invent (yesterday), a sound proof dome to instantly surround my big 5 yr old son. The pet food isle, the pasta aisle, or the check out line, in any store when he lets out his famous "NO!", repeatedly, that brings dept. managers running (like they can help fix the problem). A smaller van dome and dinner table dome would be also included in the deal."

Sign me up for that, for sure, particularly if it can be adjusted to silence toxic people who are about to say something insensitive in front of our kids. If you've got a cool special-needs tool you're dying for someone to develop, please add it to the Readers Respond page and join the fun.
