Weighted Vest

Help me give my students a weighted vest for comfort and sensory needs!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raap's classroom raised $186

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students love weighted items. We have a few students who love the feeling of weight around them. A weighted vest would provide a feeling of comfort while students are able to move around.

Students would be able to use the vest during learning and on sensory walks.

Students would be able to wear the vest to help them stay regulated in general education settings as well. This vest is an easy independent tool for students to use. Students will add this as an option for a way to help regulate their emotions!
