Senseez Pillows Bercovitch founded Senseez Pillows in 2012, after making the first vibrating pillow in her basement to help her son with his special needs. The company quickly grew, creating pillows for children with sensory needs, particularly those with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. In 2013, Bercovitch appeared on CBC's Dragon's Den web episodes, successfully pitching her pillows to investors. Working with Lekotek in 2014, Bercovitch helped demonstrate the clinical benefits of the pillows and their vibration as a therapeutic and occupational therapy tool for youth on the autism spectrum. The study found that Senseez helped in daily life for 72% of the participating children. Bercovitch received 2015 Gold Stevie Award for Female Entrepreneur of the Year for her success with Senseez Pillows. She and Senseez Pillows were featured on the cover of Montreal Families Magazine in March 2016. Bercovitch sold the company in 2019.
