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 individuals 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.
