The weight sets consist of 1\/8 lb., 1\/4 lb. or 1\/2 lb. packets allowing the weight packs to be evenly distributed within the 8 pockets located along the bottom of the vest. Velcro closures help secure the weights within these pockets. Additional weight packs are sold separately. A decrease in length may also be obtained by folding the pocket section up, and securing it to a hidden section of Velcro located half way up the inside of the vest. Our fabric also serves as a backdrop for communication symbols or devices, by attaching hook and loop to the symbol or objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eNo color choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of the weighted vest is based on the sensory integration therapy technique of deep pressure. Weight and deep pressure is often used to assist the child to self-calm and relax so that sensory stimulus can be processed. The use of a weighted vest provides the child with unconscious information from the muscles and joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren and adults who are easily distracted, hyperactive and lacking in concentration respond positively to the additional weight a vest provides. Therapists have found a weighted vest 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 these individuals recommend the use of a weighted vest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everrich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48662538780949,"sku":"SHWeightedVest","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4583\/1189\/files\/1-E08937-a_9737dd04-3185-41f7-95eb-7c7b39d149aa.jpg?v=1774621176","url":"https:\/\/especialneeds.com\/products\/sensory-hugs-weighted-vests","provider":"eSpecial Needs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
