Weighted Vest Benefits

Recommended for Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder

For people with autism, sensory processing dysfunction can manifest in language delays or deficits, fine and gross motor delays, strong sensory interests, sensory aversions, an inability to interact with people and objects, an inability to stay within an interaction, repetitive sensory stereotypies (stimming), and much more.

If you have a child with autism, his/her occupational therapist may have recommended a weighted vest to help with hyperactivity, focus, and/or self-stimulatory behaviors.

About Sensory Issues & Autism

Deep Touch Pressure

A weighted vest provides deep touch pressure (DTP), or proprioceptive input, which has a calming, organizing effect on the child.

Occupational therapists often recommend wearables that provide deep touch pressure as part of a comprehensive sensory diet to help children with autism who have sensory processing disorder or self-regulation difficulties.

Weighted Vest Science

Why the Weight?

Weighted compression vests use Deep Touch Pressure (DTP)—gentle, evenly distributed weight that helps the body feel grounded and secure.

DTP can support the release of serotonin (which converts to melatonin) and reduce nervous system activity. Together, these responses may promote calm, relaxation, and better sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is an optional description that can elaborate on the questions that are being asked.

  • Does the compression vest come with added weight?

    Yes! We will send you extra weights to add to the vest. Additionally, you can buy more weights at this link.

  • Who could benefit from a compression vest?

    Weighted vests are typically used for children with sensory issues, autism spectrum disorder, or ADHD. The vest helps the child calm down and focus better. You can read our article here on the benefits of weighted vests.

  • What's the difference between a weighted vest and a compression vest?

    Some vests you will find will provide only compression or only weights. These can work great if you only need one of those features for your child.

    While both accomplish similar things, the compression is designed to help with your child's calmness from the deep touch pressure. The weight provides that, but also provides a groundedness that can come from the extra weight. If you'd like to read more about the differences, check out our blog post here.

    Fortunately, our vest is both a compression vest and weighted vest to give you the best of both worlds!
