Imagine one, big, wearable hug. Here it is-the weighted compression vest that encourages the big trifecta of calm, focus, and concentration for learning. And it looks weigh-cool, too. There’s a soft neoprene shell for comfort (think deep-sea divers), air-conditioned mesh sides and pockets to place adjustable weights. For kids and adults alike, the deep pressure and balanced weight are gentle, calming and reassuring. FOR: Steady proprioceptive input (body awareness) for kids and adults on the autism spectrum, with sensory processing disorders, or hyperactivity. WHY: It works. And it’s lightening-fast to put on, take off and adjust. Easy-on, hook and loop closures on sides and shoulders make size adjustment a snap. You place weights in the safe, closed pockets-add, remove and adjust as you’d like. Most sizes include two 1/2 lb. weights and four 1/4 lb. weights for a total of 2 lbs. XX-Small includes four 1/4 lb. weights for a total of 1 lb. Remove weights before washing. Machine wash cold, line dry. Colors: blue and red SAFETY FIRST: Ask your occupational therapist about weights and wear times for best results. Supervise wear, please. You might WANT: Additional Weights sold separately
Works like a miracle My 2 year old son was always falling over, ever since he learned to sit up. Once we started PT and OT, the therapists recommended a compression shirt to help with balance, anxiety, and to decrease sensory seeking. I couldn’t find an affordable shirt in his size, but I found this vest, and ordered it. HOLY COW! He resisted it at first, and I think that’s because maybe he likes feeling a little tipsy or out of control. After the first day and a half, he asked me to put it on. He wears it whenever…
My daughter loves it, it helps her enjoy everything more You will not believe how I found out this wonderful vest existed. I read one of those articles that bash things they donât comprehend….. anyways, they said schools in Germany where forcing these vests on âpoor children who just had the need to moveâ in order to âmake them sit for hours on end without disturbing the classâ âat the cost of this torture methodâ …. thankfully, we all have a mind of our own and can read with a critical and open mind, because,,,, it made me look this up on amazon…
Itâs Not A Miracle, But It Works! My son was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder and a speech delay, and would get really excited and it was almost impossible to calm him down. His therapist had him try a weighted vest that did absolutely nothing for him and while she did give us techniques to help, it was very overwhelming at times. Then we tried compression clothing and it worked a little bit nothing really noticeable. She then brought this vest(but in a bigger size) and the change was amazing. It was like he could…
