Story
A youth that is in foster care is diagnosed with Autism. He has requested a weighted vest to wear at school, and reports that it helps to calm him and keep him from sensory overload. The school was able to find one when he had escalated, and he was observed to calm visibly as soon as he put it on but he is not able to consistently wear it at school. He has a weighted blanket at home to help with sensory overload, but could use the support of the vest at school and in public settings.
