Proprioceptive disorders are common amongst children and come in many forms such as autism, attention deficient disorders, or sensory processing disorder. These disorders can disrupt your child's natural curiosity about their environment and inhibit daily activities through sensory overwhelm. In chaotic environments, such as noisy classrooms or playgrounds, children may have a hard time processing all that is happening around them and this can lead to anxiety. Help your child navigate their unpredictable world by providing a predicable, comforting sensation with the Body Snuggle by SouthPaw.
What is Deep Touch Pressure?
Deep Touch Pressure is a form of tactile sensory input . This type of input is often received from hugs, snuggles, or squeezes. Deep Touch Pressure helps to calm sensory overload and boosts focus. Deep Touch Pressure input can be received from weighted compression vests, weighted blankets (like the
Sensory Weighted Blanket for Kids from Harkla or the
Zensory Antimicrobial Weighted Blanket for Kids by PureCare), and compression sheets (like the
Sensory Compression Sheet Blanket by Harkla).
The Body Snuggle is a full torso suit that applies compression evenly throughout your child's upper body. Adjustable shoulder and groin straps will ensure the stretchy Lycra fabric fits snugly and comfortably around your child and will not hinder any activity. The constant pressure helps orient proprioceptive centers in the brain and can calm a child in unpredictable environments. This vest comes in three sizes to best fit your growing child. Help support your child throughout their school day with the Body Snuggle by SouthPaw.
