  • A wearable weighted compression vest to assist with self regulation and calming

    The Weighted Compression Vest is a comfortable, neoprene garment designed to provide calming sensory input through a combination of gentle compression and weight. This vest offers support for children, teenagers, and smaller adults, helping with self-regulation, focus, and emotional balance. It is especially beneficial for individuals with ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or Autism by delivering deep pressure that stimulates the proprioceptive system—like a soothing, all-day hug.

    Available in multiple sizes, this vest offers a discreet design in navy blue, making it easy to wear at school, home, or in community settings without drawing attention. With its high-quality materials and thoughtful design, the vest is both durable and adjustable, ensuring a secure fit for a variety of body shapes. Removable weight packs are included, allowing for customisable pressure to suit individual sensory needs.

    Sizing options range from small to extra-large, covering age groups from toddlers to older teens. To ensure the perfect fit, measure the child’s torso circumference and length from shoulder to waist, and consider sizing up if they are between sizes. Each vest includes sealed weight packs in a range of 180g to 350g, giving users the flexibility to adjust sensory input as needed.

    The Weighted Compression Vest provides reliable, calming sensory input to promote emotional regulation, making it an essential tool for families, therapists, and educators alike.

    We recommend that you measure your child to ensure purchasing the correct size. The width is measured by taking the circumference of the torso. The length is measured by taking the measurement from the top of the shoulder to the waist. If your child is between two sizes, we recommend you size up.

Just what we needed then and now!

Having been a teacher, I always browsed and purchased educational products from the previous shop in Kiama.

Now, as a grandparent I continue to love to visit your expanded business. I am keen to view new toys or regulation products to support my grandchildren’s needs. I have always found your staff knowledgeable,...

I love using your products with my NDIS client. I especially find the Coko Alphabet Bricks easy to use and so helpful in promoting literacy learning skills with my client. They also double up as a great playtime activity with my 7 year old granddaughter where we see how many words we can make out of a select few...

Sending a big thank you to the lovely team at Starfish store. I’m located in Melbourne and the lady I spoke to on the phone was more then happy to give her advice regarding noise canceling ear muffs. My 2 year old son, who has sensory issues, couldn’t be more happier! They have given him such comfort in overwhelming...

My daughter is a sensory seeker and seeks oral feedback and stimulation, we’ve purchased the Ark Z Vibe Grabber and instantly my daughter was getting the input she was seeking. The staff at Starfish are extremely helpful and the prompt service and delivery is always appreciated.

We purchased the Lycra swing from Starfish. It’s great quality (thick Lycra), stretchy yet firm, and has enough material for the kids to wrap around themselves. It also takes a lot of weight so can be used for years to come. Definitely great value for money.

My 5 year old nonverbal ASD was overstimulated, we tried our usual deep pressure cuddles and reassurance however it wasn't working. We decided to give the turtle a go, and he loves it he listened to the waves and quickly calmed to the blue wave over our roof within a minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I write this...

Absolutely love the Whoozit Water Mat. We got it today and Liam, who doesn’t normally like water, played with it for over half an hour with a huge smile.

We played with the Connetix tiles all afternoon with no TV on (big plus in our house). The best part about it was, I am not the best at actively playing with her and I actually played with her for a decent hour or two because I find them so fascinating! Win win!

I received my LCD writing tablet and I am thrilled. So far it’s been invaluable next to my computer to write things down if needed without wasting or looking for paper. I will take it in my bag wherever I go! Thanks so much Starfish!
