    Abstract: Every parent expects the birth of a child. The expected child of every parent is a perfect child with
no flaws. Everyone does not want to be born in this world with disorder or disability. No parents are expecting
the birth of a child with disability. The birth of a child with special needs does not exclude the rich, educated,
poor, religious or non-religious families. Parents cannot resist the birth of a child with special needs. This
research aimed to create a prototype in the form of universal therapeutic mattress for children with autism in
Indonesia which aimed to provide comfort effects on the user by putting pressure on the body. There were 4
design concepts which were then designed using Fusion 360 for the selected design concepts. This therapy
tool is used for children aged 8-15 years with height around 100-150 cm. The main material used was foam and
cotton cloth for the convenience of the user. Then, a design concept was chosen that could reduce the stress
index report by 3.8 or 1.28%.
