Using the Weighted Vest

All weighted products should be used with adult supervision and guidance from a therapist. Your therapist can advise you about the weights and wear times for the best results. Weights should be gradually adjusted, very carefully, for each child's needs. The standard weight to use is 5 percent of total body weight, and the total should never exceed 10 to 15 percent of total body weight. Remove weights before washing.
