Affordable deep pressure vests

ParentingAutism

Does anyone know where to buy a weighted/deep pressure vest from. I've been looking for months but they are very expensive. I need one for my 16 year old daughter but most I've looked at are for little kids. Any ideas? Thanks

  • If you apply to family fund you could be awarded a grant. 

    Contact your local national autistic society and carers centre. Ask if they could source one? Maybe at a discounted rate? Or free if possible. 

    Doea your daughter have a SDS budget your allowed to buy items such as weighted vest from that. I have used my sons to buy specialist clothing. 

    You could ask social work to fund it? They have lots of budgets they can use. 

    school? Educational psychology have a duty to provide these items for during school.

    Check ebay for a 2nd hand one?
