Help me give my students weighted vests to help provide calming sensory input
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Comeau's classroom raised $348
This project is fully funded
My Project
Our special needs classrooms have students who require sensory input on their IEP mandates. We need weighted vests to help support these IEP mandates. The vests provide deep touch pressure to help them relax and focus during a classroom activity. The pressure to the child’s muscles helps reduce anxiety and allows him/her to be more attentive.
Children with autism who wear weighted vests have an increase in on-task completion of fine motor activities.
Students who wear weighted vests show improved behavior in and out of the classroom. A weighted vest can provide the following benefits: Create calmness, increase focus and concentration, decrease stimming, reduce anxiety, provide better body awareness, encourage self-regulation.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
