Weighted vests benefit children and adults with anxiety, autism and ADHD. The deep pressure and compression provides proprioception, just like a calming hug. Our weighted vest looks like a regular garment that can be used at school, at work, or at home. The weighted vest envelops the body, somewhat like a hug, and affects the body's proprioceptive senses (movement and positional sense), allowing the wearer to experience a pleasant calmness and improved concentration.
