What Is Proprioceptive Feedback?

Proprioceptive feedback is the sense of reassurance we get when we understand where our bodies are in relation to other objects. With autistic individuals, their proprioception can be affected to the point where they constantly crave a compressive feeling that induces a sense of safety and security.

How Does Compression Help With Autism?

Common in autistic children and adults is the desire for a feeling of tight compression, which calms the individual down. Autistic children enjoy wrapping themselves in mats and various different items of clothing because this induces a feeling of safety and security.

The Sensory Pressure Compression Therapy Vest is an easy way to simulate this sensation by calming the wearer before a meltdown occurs.
