The DayBeacon: Turning Awareness into Action

WearIt. was created to spark awareness and start conversations around invisible challenges, but awareness alone isn’t enough.

The DayBeacon is the next step.

What is The DayBeacon?

The DayBeacon is a patented, in-development wearable and software platform designed to help students with invisible challenges communicate their needs throughout the school daywithout interrupting class or having to explain themselves in the moment.

By offering simple, real-time insight into how a student’s day is unfolding, The DayBeacon helps educators and caregivers respond earlier, reduce unnecessary stress, and create more supportive learning environments.

Why it matters.

Many students walk into classrooms carrying challenges no one can see with a rare disease, a chronic illness, an invisible disability, and many times, a combination of all three.

When needs go unseen, students are often expected to push through, self-advocate repeatedly, or explain personal challenges in front of peers. Over time, this can lead to increased anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and missed opportunities for support.

The DayBeacon is going to change that.

It helps students:
-Feel seen without having to ask
-Communicate needs discreetly and confidently
-Build self-advocacy skills over time
-Develop self-regulation in a way that feels safe and natural

And it helps adults:
-Anticipate challenges instead of reacting to them
-Support students earlier and more effectively
-Create calmer, more predictable classroom experiences

How It Works:

The DayBeacon pairs a student-friendly wearable with a secure digital dashboard used by educators and caregivers.

Students can share how they’re feeling as their day unfolds, allowing adults to better understand patterns, anticipate support needs, and respond thoughtfully without disruption or spotlighting the student.

The system is intentionally designed to be:
-Simple and unobtrusive
-Easy to integrate into real classrooms
-Focused on empowerment, not monitoring

From Lived Experience to Purposeful Design:

The DayBeacon was inspired by lived experience by navigating school days where needs were real, but not always visible.

It was designed with one core belief:
Students shouldn’t have to struggle silently or explain themselves just to receive support.

How WearIt. Supports The DayBeacon:

WearIt. exists to build awareness and to help fund meaningful solutions.

Purchases made from WearIt. support the continued development, testing, and future accessibility of The DayBeacon.

When you wear WearIt., you’re not just sharing a message.
You’re helping build tools that turn understanding into action.

Current Status:

The DayBeacon is patented and actively in development, with plans for future pilot testing in classroom settings.

More details will be shared as development continues.

Looking Ahead:

The goal of The DayBeacon:

To help students feel supported, understood, and confident so they can focus on learning, growing, and being themselves.

Navigate. Communicate. Advocate.
