Teachers who have borrowed the vest for their class find that it has a positive effect on students who have trouble calming down and provides a sense of security to students who struggle with anxiety, worry, or stress.
The weighted vest is a simple and effective tool used to address anxiety, mental and motor restlessness, and stress, as well as conditions such as ADHD, autism, and burnout syndrome.

Novista has developed the Fiber Weight Vest, a flexible, comfortable, and discreet weight vest designed for use in schools. The Fiber Weight Vest was launched in schools just over a year ago, and the response has been very positive.
“We follow up with and talk to every single school that has borrowed, rented, or purchased our vest to learn more so that we can further develop the product and expand our own knowledge of how it can be used,” says Niklas Sundström, Product Specialist at Novista.
“That means we’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and have a good understanding of the performance you can expect from our vests. We share everything we’ve learned through lectures, training sessions, trade shows, and informational meetings,” says Niklas.

Educators who have tried Novista’s weighted vest report that it has a positive effect on students who have difficulty calming down so they can focus on their tasks. Others say that the vest provides a sense of security to students who experience high levels of anxiety, worry, or stress, and better equips them to face challenges at school and in everyday life.
