"It feels good!"™

Weighted vests are used as a means of applying deep pressure, which can be helpful in decreasing purposeless behaviors, hyperactivity and inattention (often seen in autistic and ADHD children and those with sensory processing difficulties.  The deep pressure applied by the OTvest™ has a calming effect upon children that is comfortable to them, and provides an alternative or adjunct to medication. Many children when putting  the OTvest on for the first time, respond by saying "It feels good!"™  This highly effective means of applying deep pressure is unique and patented--as the weight does not hang inside pockets supported by the garment, but lies comfortably but directly upon the shoulder-girdle muscles of the child--as if someone is pressing gently upon the individual's shoulders and upper back. Children as well as teens like the stylish design of this vest, as it does not stand out as therapeutic, but actually looks quite "handsome" with the clothing normally worn to school!! The weights are undetectable to others.

The OTvest™ features:

  • A patented, highly effective design for the application of deep pressure.

  • The use of a stylish denim vest that does not look "therapeutic".

  • Snaps or riveted buttons to withstand fidgeting, with hook/loop added for quick, easy independent closure on the older child's vest.

  • Machine washable, durable vest with a removable, vinyl covered weight unit that can be wiped down to clean/sanitize.

  • Children cannot remove the weights to fidget with them or lose them.

  • High necked closure prevents slipping off the shoulders and the keeps the weights in place.
