Children along the autism spectrum disorder, those with sensory sensitivity or with Sensory Processing Disorders, ADHD, and many other children with different neurological challenges often benefit and respond well to deep pressure input. These stylish compression pants are made of comfy 4-way stretch fabric which allows the child to work or play creatively and actively. This can comfortably be worn as an outer or inner garment providing deep pressure sensory input. This is a perfect match to our compression shirts or can be worn with any garment. Compression increases endorphin levels and decreases heart rate and blood pressure. Deep touch pressure causes the release of both serotonin and dopamine in the brain.
