As an Occupational Therapist who is also a barber. I have found the weighted cape to be very effective with my neurodivergent clients!

 

A lot of my clients appreciate the extra weight to not only regulate their sensory nervous system; but also providing a sense of comfort in what could be an overstimulating environment. I definitely recommend this cape to OTs to be used as a tool to simulate hair grooming experiences for all ages

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I get?

Yes, a good rule of thumb is to do 5% of your kids weight. If at least 30lbs do the 1.5lb cape, if at least 60lbs do the 3lb cape, if anything over 100lbs you can try the adult 4 lb cape. Never exceed 10% of your childs weights. Please refer to size chart. 

 

Can I wash it at home?

Absolutely — machine washable. Just take the weights out and wash the cape in warm or cold temps.

makes my job much easier.

My clients loved it, they said it made them unwind and relax in the chair. I personally love it because my clients don't move as much in the chair which makes my job much easier.

@jacobluendu

made them feel really calm in the chair!!

My clients loved it, some of them even said the weight could be a bit heavier because it made them feel really calm in the chair. I had a client say it reminded him of the lead blankets when getting an xray at the dentist. I save this cape specifically for my premium services.
