Greetings!
Weighted vests are designed to help with sensory processing and motor planning. Weighted vests help promote self-calming and enhance proprioceptive feedback using a therapeutic garment. - Designed for parents, therapists and teachers that want to have a therapeutic item in a non-therapeutic setting such as in the home, in the classroom or at social events.
- Introduce the vest for the first time as regular clothing; start slow.
- Don't wait to use the vest when it's a crisis. Create a habit of putting on the vest and allowing the child to move around in it before placing the child in a calming atmosphere. Good results are seen when the vest is used as part of an activity such as recess, at the store or at church.
- Remember - this is a non-invasive therapeutic opportunity.
- Time limitations don't always matter; some children may find proprioceptive input to help with body awareness issues. In this case, they may need to wear the weighted vest for longer periods or in unfamiliar situations.
- Use according to each individual child's needs.
Sensory Integration (SI) is based on the theory of the normal neurological process to integrate or organize all of our natural senses in a harmonious whole to survive...
