"When it comes to the compression tshirt, whats not to love? From the color and feel of the outside part (which is fashionable yet soft as velvet), to the underlying pressure part, which is firm and adjustable through velcro. It allows for tight or loose fit, depending on each child's specific needs.
The compression t-shirt works well in my practice, as I use it with my younger children ages 4-6. It helps provide the necessary proprioceptive input they crave during our sessions, helps their bodies stay organized, their individual movements more controlled and above all, safer! When a child feels safe, child feels calm and is able to have fun and learn!
I can see this type of t-shirt, being used during school, helping children stay regulated longer periods of time, allowing for greater focus during instruction time."
