The first of our weighted jackets! A bit more stylish than a regular weighted vest.
A weighted jacket is normally worn over clothing with extra weight added within the jacket. Traditionally weighing between 5% to 10% of a person’s body weight, weighted jackets provide proprioceptive input using deep pressure which sends signals to the brain which, as a result, helps a person feel calm and increase focus.
Although it might not apply to everyone with autism, a weighted jacket is said to provide the following benefits:
- Create calmness
- Increase focus and concentration
- Decrease stimming
- Reduce anxiety
- Provide better body awareness
- Encourage self-regulation
Manufactured with a denim outer shell and a soft fleece inner lining or Denim on both sides.
- 5 - 6 (0.75kg) - 40 cm circumference x 42 cm length
- 7 - 8 (1kg) - 41 cm circumference x 45 cm length
- 9 - 10 (1.5kg) - 44 cm circumference x 47 cm length
- 11 - 12 (2kg) - 47 cm circumference x 51 cm length
- 13 - 14 (2.5kg) - 49 cm circumference x 54 cm length
Due to the absence of scientific evidence that weighted jackets work, it’s important to observe someone with autism while wearing one - especially if they have limited communication skills. If uncomfortable or no improvement is seen, then it’s best not to use it. It is also worth mentioning that wearing a weighted jacket may not work unless it is supported by other methods provided by an occupational therapist.

Very happy, and comfortable
We have just issued a few of these to our teenage learners. They are a hit as the learners are comfortable wearing the jackets in front of their peers, and the jackets are nice and warm, with the weights serving their function.
