It is so amazing and exciting that you can receive sensory benefits from the right Clothing. The deep pressure sensory input from our weighted vests can give the child’s body what they crave.   The Deep pressure from our precious girls “Sofia” Weighted Vest often increases our Happy hormones such as serotonin and dopamine while also slowing down our involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol. There are so many benefits of deep touch pressure such as reducing anxiety, improving attention, decreasing hyperactivity, improving body awareness, assisting with self-regulation and much more.
