Custom Weighted Vests

Custom Weighted Vests is a company run by a mum of a special needs child.

"They are often used to aid people with special needs, especially those who process sensory input differently than most. Occupational therapists may recommend weighted vests for people on the autism spectrum, including those with Asperger's. Others who have seen benefits include those who are hyperactive, who are easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli, those who frequently shift from one activity to another, those having difficulty remaining seated when expected to do so, and possibly those who make noises or talk excessively."

Based in America, Custom Weighted Vests ship internationally at a cost of 30 - 50 US$.
