BearHug is an inflatable vest for giving Deep Pressure Therapy to help ease anxiety and regulate the sensory system.
Using air, easily adjustable pressure can be distributed safely and evenly to the torso, to meet each child’s specific needs and calm the child so that they can interact with others, concentrate better, and be more effective at completing their daily tasks.
BearHug is a tool for providing effective Deep Pressure to the torso. It promotes the child to gain independence because they can control the amount of pressure they need themselves. As some children with ASD have a hard time communicating their needs, this tool can give them the power to be in control to help their sensory systems self-regulate, thus easing their anxiety and helping them function better. Because each individual on the spectrum is so unique, BearHug provides highly adjustable pressure with other attachable features to personalize the vest, such as textured pockets to fidget in.
