id you know that when you request a weighted vest, you have lots of options from which to choose? A weighted vest is a garment worn over clothing with extra weight added within the vest. A weighted compression vest provides both weights and compression to give a tightness that provides additional sensory input. A Deep Pressure Vest provides snugness without using weight. Lastly, a weighted hoodie can provide extra weight without the compression. A weighted hoodie can be a more discreet option and has a looser fit. All of these options can be beneficial to help an individual feel calm, increase focus and decrease anxiety and stimming.
