Even pressure, all day, without a word being said.
The vest applies a gentle and constant deep pressure across the shoulders and torso. For a lot of children, that steady input is what makes sitting still, listening, or moving through a busy room feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
It goes on over a t-shirt in a few seconds and stays put. No straps to fight with, no noise, nothing that announces itself to a classroom.
Children who seek pressure, struggle to stay seated, or find transitions difficult. Commonly used at home during homework, in the classroom, and on the way to and from school.
Start with 20 minutes at a time, then adjust to what works for your child. Many families use it before an activity that needs focus rather than during a meltdown. Speak to your occupational therapist about the right weight and duration for your child.
Not a restraint. The vest should always be easy for the child to take off on their own. Adult supervision required. Not suitable for children under 3.
