Vest Deep Pressure
SKU: SD023
Deep pressure vest for autism applies compression and deep pressure to the wearer, offering proprioceptive feedback to the body and shoulders.
No weight is used - instead a deep pressure is applied to the body by the tight wrapping of the vest around the body.
Good for:
Challenging and sensory seeking behaviours are often reduced with the application of deep pressure.
Anxiety and distress can be reduced by lowering the heart rate, calming breathing, in turn promoting a feeling of security.
Some autistic children and adults enjoy tight clothing or wrapping themselves up in sheets or a gym mat to give them the pressure they crave - the compression vest works on the same principle and benefits those with tactile and proprioceptive sensory problems.
Promotes a feeling of calmness and security
Can be worn discreetly under a jumper
