Vest Deep Pressure

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
