Description
Although these vests are made with Airprene material, which is breathable by design, please note that it is still recommended that you periodically check for overheating or skin irritation on the chest or torso. The vest is designed to be pulled snugly to the client's body, providing proprioceptive deep pressure feedback, stability, and skills evenly over the chest and waist. A new neck design also gives added support along the chest area.
The deep-pressure sensory vest is based on the sensory integration therapy technique of deep pressure. Deep pressure is often used to assist the child in self-calming and relaxing so that sensory stimuli can be processed. The use of a weighted vest provides the child with unconscious information from the muscles and joints.
Children who are easily distracted, hyperactive, and lacking in concentration respond positively to the "hugging" sensation a vest provides. Therapists have found that adding additional weights to the vest's torso or shoulders may also assist with reflex maturity, body position awareness and coordination, balance, eye/hand coordination, spatial perception, and hearing and speaking skills. Because of these anecdotal outcomes, many therapists working with children are recommending the use of a weighted vest.
Please Note:
- These items may be worn as long as tolerated. Feedback indicates that most clients indicate when they want the vest to be put on or removed. These vests were designed with two separate sides, allowing the therapist to adjust and vary the dimensions of each vest to meet the needs of several different clients. The front section comes in a variety of colors; the back section is black. They are made with 2 mm Airprene fabric and are secured to a 1.5 mm Velcro Plush Airprene back.
- This unique design allows increased size adjustments due to the material and Velcro combination. The measurements stated below are the widest possible dimensions and are given to determine the best size for each client; however, for smaller clients, a greater decrease in size is obtained by increasing the side and shoulder closures.
Features include
- Airprene material with perforations/holes throughout the rubberized layer of fabric, allowing them to "breathe," eliminating or reducing the problem of overheating
No seams on the back to tear or unravel; may be modified simply by cutting it
2-to-3-inch horizontal separation on the front, allowing for a snug fit along the chest and waist. - Full Velcro adjustment on both shoulders and across the back to allow for a proper fit in the length, chest, and torso.
