The Weighted Jacket – Small Size is a sensory therapy aid designed to provide deep pressure stimulation (DPS) for children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and other developmental conditions. The gentle, evenly distributed weight helps promote a calming effect, improves body awareness (proprioception), enhances focus, and supports participation in daily activities and therapy sessions.
Made from soft, breathable cotton fabric, the jacket ensures comfort during extended wear. The weight is adjustable according to the child's individual sensory needs and should always be determined by an occupational therapist or healthcare professional. The standard supplied weight is 2 kg, with customized weight options available upon request.
The jacket is ideal for use in therapy centers, special schools, classrooms, and at home under professional guidance.
