Weighted Sensory Compression Vest for Kids by Special Supplies

Description:

For children with special needs who seek firm pressure around their body, the Special Supplies Weighted Sensory Compression Vest combines a snug, adjustable fit with removable weights. It gives parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists two ways to provide sensory input: compression on its own or compression with added weight.

Adjust the fit and weighted feel separately

Shoulder and midsection straps let you adjust how the vest fits around the torso. Removable sandbag weights sit in front and back pockets, so the weighted feel can be tailored to the child’s individual use plan without changing the vest.

Use it as part of a sensory routine during activities such as reading, seated classroom work, or planned sensory breaks at home or school. A soft design with breathable mesh side panels and a printed interior label helps make comfort part of the experience.

What’s included

Each purchase includes one navy vest in your selected size and removable sandbag weights:

• X-Small: Two ½ lb weights and two ¼ lb weights, totaling 1.5 lb. Two front pockets and two back pockets.

• Small, Medium, and Large: Two ½ lb weights and four ¼ lb weights, totaling 2 lb. Two front pockets and four back pockets.

These totals describe the included removable weights, not the amount every child should wear.

Choosing a size

Measure from shoulder to waist and completely around the chest. Compare both measurements with the listed dimensions:

The shoulder and midsection closures allow fit adjustments. Choose by measurements rather than appearance or age alone.

Care

Remove all weights and secure the hook-and-loop closures before washing. Machine wash the vest in cold water and hang dry only.

Before use

Ask your child’s occupational therapist whether weighted compression is appropriate and for guidance on fit, weight placement, and wearing time. Follow the product instructions and the child’s individual use plan.
