The Tumble Forms II Weighted Vests and Weights helps to provide sensory information to the user's joints and muscles. The weighted pressure provides proprioceptive input to the child's brain, allowing the enhanced sensory integration to limit the multisensory information to the child’s brain, helping to calm the child. This calming influence helps children to reduce their fidgeting while seated, and improve their concentration and attention.
It is estimated about 3% of school-aged children suffer from ADHD. Other sensory disorders that can affect children include autism spectrum disorder, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, pervasive development disorder, and attention deficit disorder.
The vest comes with four ½ pound weights and four 1 pound weights of lead-free steel shot that is evenly distributed within a sewn-shut, sturdy nylon fabric casing. Velcro brand straps provide a secure fit and an easy and quick way to put on/take off the vest. Sizes to choose range from extra-small to extra-large, and a choice of a solid blue or a patterned outer design. The Tumble Forms II weighted vest should not be used with infants.
