Provides Deep & Calming Pressure to Child’s Torso

The Sensory Pressure Vest is an effective tool for helping children with sensory seeking behaviors to self-regulate, providing a calming, focusing, ‘slowing-down’ effect. The deep pressure applied to the torso helps decrease sensory seeking behaviors that are often seen in children with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. It also helps decrease the child’s response to the stimulus causing frustration or anxiety, which allows the child to calm down.

Helps Decrease Sensory Seeking Behaviors

The vest provides proprioceptive feedback to a child with Autism or SPD. Proprioceptors are sensors that aid in a child’s sensation of gravity and body movement. By providing constant and deep pressure, these vests help increase sensory feedback. It is important to consult with your doctor to create an individually-designed wearing schedule using the Sensory Pressure Vest. Generally, children are recommended to wear the Sensory Pressure Vest for 20-30 minutes at a time.

Sensory Pressure Vest Improves Body Awareness

The Sensory Pressure Vest is a two-piece design with hook and loop closures on the sides and shoulders for a custom tailored ‘hugging’ effect. This provides pressure evenly to the body to help improve body awareness as well as attention and focus. Users can adjust the amount of pressure using the front closure. The height of the vest is measured starting from the top shoulder fold to the bottom edge. Users can choose from the following sizes: small (21" - 24"), medium (25" - 28"), large (29" - 32"), and x-large (33" - 38").
