Weights are easily added and removed from the vest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression vest is designed to be pulled snug to the clients' 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with \"Airprene\" which is perforated throughout the rubberized layer of fabric, allowing the torso to \"breath\" eliminating or reducing the problem of overheating, the vests are designed with Velcro on the sides and shoulders allowing for easy adjustments, plenty of growth, and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of 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 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildren 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 torso or shoulders of the 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 children are recommending the use of a weighted vest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable: Our deep pressure sensory vests have full Velcro adjustment on both shoulders and across the back to allow for a proper fit in the both the length, chest and torso.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique design allows increased adjustments in size 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eThese 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 a number of different clients. The front and back sections are black.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable only in black.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eSpecial Needs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48923460403477,"sku":"SHWeightedCompressionVest","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4583\/1189\/files\/E08939-a_4639c436-87c9-453c-95bb-0414205e04e4.jpg?v=1767215323","url":"https:\/\/especialneeds.com\/products\/spark-sensory-solutions-sensory-hugs-weighted-compression-sensory-vests-sensory-motor-tools","provider":"eSpecial Needs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
