Description:

Hug-like pressure for everyday sensory needs

Some children with special needs seek the close-fitting sensation of firm pressure around their bodies. The Special Supplies Adjustable Sensory Compression Vest offers a wearable way to provide that input, combining flexible neoprene with adjustable hook-and-loop closures. Sizes are available for children, teens, and adults.

Make sensory input part of familiar routines

For a wearer who enjoys compression, the vest can be used during activities such as reading, drawing, tabletop play, or a sensory break. Its wearable design leaves the hands free, so the wearer can take part in an activity while receiving pressure around the upper body.

Parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists can use the wearer’s comfort and individual needs to guide when the vest is appropriate. Sensory preferences vary, and not everyone enjoys compression.

Adjust the fit, not just the size

The hook-and-loop closures let you adjust how closely the vest fits around the torso. Flexible neoprene follows the body’s shape, while the option to wear it over or under clothing lets you choose the layering the wearer prefers.

Aim for a comfortable, snug fit, not the tightest possible fit.

Choosing a size

Fit and use

The vest should feel snug without restricting breathing or movement. Children should use it with adult supervision. Stop use if it causes discomfort. An occupational therapist can provide individualized guidance on whether compression is appropriate for the wearer.

My son (who has ADHD

"My son (who has ADHD and level 1 autism) says it truly feels like a deep hug from me. We put it on him for 20 minutes before and after school and on days off as needed. And we have seen positive changes since doing this. Only regret I have is not getting it sooner!"

— Patricia T. (5/5)

"Amazing. Feels just like being hugged - great for me personally as I am an adult who struggles with anxiety among other things like ADHD and such and the feeling of a hug that you can control the pressure of helps me to calm myself down a bit. Great company, fast shipping and great product."
