About 30 schools across Sweden have tested Novista’s Fiber Weighted Vest, and it has been shown to have a positive effect on students’ ability to concentrate and focus. Positive changes in the overall classroom environment have also been observed in several schools.
A weighted vest is a cognitive aid for people with various diagnoses, such as autism and ADHD. Research shows that children who use a weighted vest find it easier to concentrate and feel calmer. The Fiber weighted vest is also effective for people without a diagnosis.
– It’s really great that the response has been so positive. We lend out vests to schools that want to try them out in their programs, and we’ve had a waiting list for loans since November. We’re also getting more calls from principals and teachers with questions about the vest. This suggests that there’s a lot of curiosity among schools about new tools and a desire to improve their operations,” says Emmy Kjell, CEO of Novista.
The weighted vest was developed by Novista in consultation with psychiatrists and stress therapists. Its sleek design and neat fit make the vest discreet, and it does not resemble an assistive device at all. The vest is designed for the modern classroom and can be used by all students.
– This is a great tool to have in the classroom, and we see a clear pattern in how it’s used. Either it’s used by a specific student on a more regular basis, or there are several vests available for all students to use on special occasions—for example, during individual assignments that require a little extra concentration and focus. It seems to benefit the entire classroom, not just the individual student,” concludes Emmy Kjell.
